TOURS FROM TRUSTED PARTNERS

Sicily is, of course, itself an island—the largest in the entire Mediterranean—but it is itself surrounded by smaller islands—storied places where Odysseus once sailed, Jules Verne's heroes walked, and latter-day sun-worshippers flock. These include:

The Aeolian Islands - Off the northeastern coast lie a string of islands that the Greeks thought were the home of Aeolus, god of the winds. Among them: ancient Lipari, chic Panarea, the natural spa of Vulcano, and the amazing Stromboli, an active volcanic cone rising out of the sea which erupts throughout the day and night like some kind of volcanic Old Faithful.
The Egadi Islands - Off the western coast at Trapani lie Favignana, home to the famous mattanza annual tuna hunt, and Marettimo, with its 10,000-year-old cave paintings.
Pantelleria - An island of capers, Calypso, and Arab flavors way south of Sicily—in fact, just off the Tunisian coast.
