Basiluzzo
An uninhabited small island northeast of Panarea, with ancient Roman harbor ruins underwater by the shore. It is a snorkeling stop on island boat tours.
Basiluzzo is the largest of the small islands around Panarea, made of rhyolite. It has only a few caper fields and the remains of a Roman villa, and Roman-era harbor ruins can be seen underwater. Around nearby islets such as Lisca Bianca and Dattilo, volcanic gas bubbles rise from the seafloor. Boat trips heading to Panarea or Stromboli pass by and stop for snorkeling, but you cannot land and stay overnight on the island.
