If you’re in Italy and looking for somewhere a bit off the beaten path, you may want to consider Pantelleria, a volcanic island located between Sicily and Tunisia. Reach it via ferry or a short flight from Palermo or Trapani. This island has a look quite different from Italy- in fact it is reminiscent of North Africa. The arid landscape, combined with rocky beaches (no sand here!) define a very different Italy. Rent a moped to explore the tiny 32 square mile island and view the traditional dammusi houses. Hot springs abound as the steam escapes from cracks in the earth creating natural saunas. While rocky, the beaches offer great snorkeling! Think about hiking the mountains or take a tour.
This traditionally quiet retreat is becoming known, however. So book yourself a trip and enjoy NOW!
