Due to the large quantity of heather present across the island, the name Filicudi derives from Ericusa (it is referred to the massive presence of heathers on the island). Considered a jewel of Sicily, this small island has just 300 inhabitants who maintain the environment to a very high standard. For this reason, it boasts a seaside made of clean turquoise water and lots of secret caves. It has just one little beach close to the village with a pebble bay and if you love sightseeing, Capo Graziano is located in the southern part of the island and has a prehistoric village dating back the Bronze Age.
