About this site
Scoglio Giafante is a rocky formation off Filicudi, one of the Aeolian Islands off the northern coast of Sicily, in the province of Messina. The Aeolian archipelago sits in the Tyrrhenian Sea and is known for volcanic seabeds and rocky islets like this one that break the surface just offshore. Divers here have reported common octopus, loggerhead sea turtles, and painted combers around the rock, along with snakelocks anemones, lurid cowries, and Madeira scorpionfish tucked into the terrain. Mauve stingers and fried egg jellies have also been spotted drifting past in the open water nearby.
