Sicily & Aeolian Islands, Italy

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

Sicily is the largest island in the Mediterranean Sea, sitting at the toe of Italy's boot and shaped by thousands of years of Greek, Arab, Norman, and Spanish influence. It's known for its ancient ruins — including the Valley of the Temples at Agrigento and the Greek theatre at Taormina — alongside active volcanoes like Mount Etna, dramatic coastlines, and a rich food culture centred on street food, fresh seafood, and citrus groves. The Aeolian Islands, a UNESCO-listed volcanic archipelago off Sicily's northeastern coast, draw travellers for their striking landscapes, world-class diving, thermal mud pools on Vulcano, and the near-constant lava flows of Stromboli. Together, the two destinations offer a mix of history, nature, island-hopping, and laid-back Mediterranean life.
