Shopping for food
Shopping in Filicudi is not exactly rewarding. High prices and poor selection. Notwithstanding that fruits and vegetables are top quality.
* The Putia. In the middle of the promenade of Porto Filicudi small Tobacconist / supermarket rather provided. Also sells cold cuts, and is the only place on the island that sells tobacco.
* Minimarket. At the end of the promenade of the Port, across from the pier, there is a supermarket. Good choice and also makes sandwiches to take to the boat.
* From Rosetta. A small supermarket fruits and vegetables Pecorini Sea. A narrower range, but it seemed more economical than others.
* From Gino. The only butcher Filicudi in the heart of Rock of Ciavola. Gino is primarily a butcher, but also a small supermarket (modest by choice).
* Fish Samuel the fisherman when there you will find the port by boat blue and red. Recognize it because it is the archetype of the fisherman: a big man, six feet thick eyebrows and blue eyes like the sea. Aeolian knows better than anyone else and was the star of a thousand adventures. His vessel was the nice girl from a German subsidiary of the flowers that fell in love ‘with him over 70 years. Her name was Bernadette, and today you can still read the name, faded on the side of the boat. Do not miss out completely if there are shrimp pot be eaten raw, just with a little ‘lemon.
* DIY shop in Valley Church. Not always open, this shop of the past offers, who discovers, delicious homemade products: royal jelly from the cucunci salt. Look for dirt road on your right just before the Church of Valley Church.
* The Villa Rosa. Finally Villa Rose, by day, offers some food. Very poor choice.
Where to rent scooters, boats and canoes
The ‘rent means Filicudi is not particularly cheap, I would say quite expensive. Although a number of years with the increase in the supply prices were slightly adjusted in each case the off-season (June, 1 / 2 July, September) around half the cost. Try to deal a bit, and obviously if you take several days to a targeted package.

Cash machine
The only ATM is located in the courtyard of the restaurant and bar in the port by Nino. is often discarded and not let us rely on. We recommend to bring cash needed to stay. Although almost all refreshed accept debit cards.
Internet
There is no point Wi-Fi on the island and therefore access to the web is difficult. If there is essential to use USB sticks, operators Vodafone and Wind (Three and Tim do not take), but navigation will be more often than in GPRS and consequently particolrmanete slow.
