    There are four islands (or stacks) of the Cyclops: Lachea, Faraglione Grande, Faraglione di Mezzo and the Faraglione degli Uccelli. The archipelago owes its name to a passage from the Odyssey, when Polyphemus threw stones at Ulysses; they stuck in the ground and gave life to the stacks.

    The Cyclops Islands are the result of high volcanic activity about half a million years ago. Great sight!

    The stacks testify to the great submarine eruption that occurred about 500 thousand years ago and which gave birth to the first "Etna" volcano. This in later times moved more and more inside Sicily in the NW direction
