Sicily & Aeolian Islands | Volcanic explosion of culture and cuisine

SICILY

Planted with Spanish oranges, painted with Byzantine mosaics, dotted with ancient temples (Necropolis of Pantalica, Valley of the Temples), and protected by Etna, one of Europe's highest active volcanoes, Sicily is the Mediterranean's largest island that sits at its crossroads. Thanks to the exceptionally fertile volcanic soil and its delicious produce, the island got its nickname God's Kitchen and became Italy's third largest wine producer. Fall in love in Palermo or Syracuse, both of timeless beauty. Taormina is one of the most well-known town with its ancient Greco-­Roman theatre set at the cliffside overlooking the sea. The three Egadi Islands resemble emerald butterflies resting on turquoise seas just west of Sicily. The islands are so isolated that they once served as a maximum security prison.

AEOLIAN ISLANDS

The 7 Aeolian Islands (UNESCO Heritage Site) recall a history of sea adventures tracing back 5,000 years. Lipari is the largest island covered with obsidian and pumice, surrounded by brilliant turquoise water and steaming fumaroles (emissions of hot gas and steam). The island of Vulcano is dominated by the Gran Cratere volcano cone, which gives off clouds of sulfurous gas. This peak gives mindblowing views, while the island is famous for its mud baths. In contrast, the island of Salina is lush and hilly and has many little bays, such as Pollara, created by a beautiful underwater crater. The smallest Panarea is romantic, featuring elegantly laid-back bars and restaurants serving delicious Sicilian specialties. The most remote Stromboli is a fully active volcano, punctuated by occasional fierce magma eruptions like a dramatic natural fireworks display.
