The island of Vulcano does not bear its name because it has a volcano inside; on the contrary, it is precisely because of this island that fire-spewing mountains are all called “volcanoes” . At first sight —so flat and low-lying— you wouldn’t even say it, yet this is a powerful volcano. The fact is that—luckily! […]
There is a place in Ireland where time has stood still. It has paused at an undefined moment in the past, alongside the oldest Celtic language—preserved here in a state of pure, wild authenticity, much like the landscape itself. These are the Aran Islands, the westernmost outposts lying off the coasts of County Clare and […]
Alicudi and Filicudi—the smallest, wildest, and most remote of the seven Aeolian Islands —are like twin sisters. Different twins, distant from the other “sister islands”, yet united by both their geographic location and the beauty of their land, sparsely populated and rugged. And perhaps precisely for this reason, they are stunning. Here, it truly feels […]
After the Maldives and Hawaii comes this tiny Caribbean archipelago. Among the paradises of the wealthy, St Kitts and Nevis is perhaps one of the most accessible, even for those who aren’t exactly billionaires. With the right information and a little foresight, even those with limited means can spend a few days in this corner […]
Enna is in the heart of the Mediterranean basin, yet it’s one of the “coldest” cities in Italy. Its record is for being the “highest district capital”, which seems crazy at just 936 meters above sea level… Though, it is true. This town of 25,000 inhabitants, dominating Sicily from its perfect core, is often overlooked […]
Beyond the westernmost point of Sicily, beyond the confines of the western sea, the Egadi (Aegadian) Islands stand out against the Caribbean blue of a dreamy sea. You’re surely familiar with them, you’ve certainly heard of them, and the latest cinematic success—The Odyssey, by Nolan—partly filmed here has further relaunched them as a holiday destination. […]
The island of Lemno (or Limonos, or Limnos) is one of Greece’s most fascinating and lesser-known destinations. Located in the northern Aegean Sea, between Mount Athos and the island of Lesbos, it lies opposite the Turkish coast of Çanakkale and a few nautical miles from the island of Gökçeada-Imbros (also a Turkish territory). The two […]
Linosa is the island of turtles and wild nature. And perhaps it’s best for it to stay that way. So why promote it for tourism? Because tourism needs to get used to respecting the nature it immerses itself in, and in order to learn this, it should start visiting places like this island, following very […]
In the heart of the Aegean Sea, exactly halfway between Greece and Turkey and far from the hustle and bustle of mass tourism, lies a small archipelago that preserves the most authentic essence of the Greek islands: the Small Cyclades. Among these islands, Schoinousa (or Schinoussa) holds a special place despite being one of the […]
