'''Panarea''' ({{IPA-|it|panaˈrɛːa}}; {{lang-grcscn|ΕὐώνυμοςPanarìa}} ''Euōnymos'') is the second smallest (after [[Basiluzzo]]) of the seven inhabited [[Aeolian Islands]], a [[volcanic]] island chain in north of [[Sicily]], southern [[Italy]]. It is a ''[[frazione]]'' of the ''[[comune]]'' of [[Lipari]]. There are currently about 280 residents living on the island year-round; however the population increases dramatically in summer with the influx of tourists especially during the months of July and August. In recent years, the island has become known internationally for its celebrity visitors.

==History==
In antiquity, the island was named "Euonymos"; the nearby islet of [[Basiluzzo]], administered from Panarea, was named "Hycesia".<ref>{{Barrington|46}}</ref> There is archaeological evidence on the island dating back to [[History of Mycenaean Greece|Mycenaean]]Greek inhabitants (~ 1200 BCE); later the island was settled by [[ancient Rome|Romans]]. There were people still living on the island until [[Pirate|pirates]] and other Mediterranean raiders made life unbearable after the fall of the [[Western Roman Empire]].
 
In modern times, Panarea has become a fashionable vacation spot. In 2011, it was described by [[W (magazine)|''W'' magazine]] as "the epicenter of the chicest summer scene in the Mediterranean."<ref name=WMag2011>{{Cite journal |last=Chaplin |first=Julia |title=Fantasy Island |journal=[[W (magazine)|''W'']] |publisher=Condé Nast |issue=August 2011 |pages=66–67 |url=http://www.wmagazine.com/travel/2011/08/panarea-island |accessdateaccess-date=9 October 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111004152229/http://www.wmagazine.com/travel/2011/08/panarea-island |archive-date=4 October 2011 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
 
Panarea and the entire Aeolian chain were declared a [[UNESCO World Heritage siteSite]] in 2000.<ref>{{Cite web |url=httphttps://whc.unesco.org/pg.cfm?cid=31&id_site=908 |title=World Heritage Convention: Isole Eolie (Aeolian Islands) |author= |year=2011 |publisher=UNESCO World Heritage Centre |accessdateaccess-date=9 October 2011 }}</ref> Largely because of this, construction and development are strictly regulated and the community retains its storied insularity. Most residences admit only temporary occupancy, and the few year-round homes available are highly expensive and difficult to obtain.<ref name=WMag2011/>
