The Odyssey · Filming location
Basiluzzo
In the story · Aeolia (according to one guide)
A real filming location (spring 2025). The crew filmed around this small uninhabited islet between Panarea and Stromboli. One guide says it plays Aeolia, the island of Aeolus, keeper of the winds, who in Homer gives Odysseus a bag holding the winds. The tall rock of Scoglio Spinazzola, where the Scylla scenes were shot, stands just off its shore.
