The interior is very spare and the menu is simple: spaghetti with clams, gilthead and scampi. The only restaurant is Taverna del Gran Duca (starting at 30 euros). Le Dimore di Mimmina is the only place to stay (starting at 65 euros per person), and for a bite to eat there is Caffè Giannutri and the grocery store. The sea floor of the Giannutri marine park attracts scuba divers, not only because of its natural beauty but also because it has shipwrecks from the Roman era. There are three scenic points: Poggio Capel Rosso, with the lighthouse Monte Mario, the highest point in the middle of the island and Cala dello Scoglio, a highly protected area because it is where seagulls reproduce.
The island is a protected marine park and has plenty to offer for those who love to hike, visit Roman ruins (the remains of a magnificent imperial residence and a small port) and take in the heady scents of the Mediterranean maquis. It can be reached from Porto Santo Stefano, on the Argentario coast. Best-known for being the youngest volcanic island in Greece, the last violent eruption occurred in 1888, but you can still see steam seeping from gaps in the speckled stones and safely walk inside. The realm of nature and visitors who care about the environment, Giannutri is a tiny refuge in the Tuscan archipelago. Nisyros, part of the Dodecanese Islands, sits between Kos and Tilos and is still untouched by heavy tourism. L’Airone is a small restaurant with a terrace overlooking the sea, and offering excellent fresh fish for around 25 euros. Casa Mulino ( and Hotel Ericusa ( /) have rooms for a maximum of 100 euros a night for two people in high season. Sicily is surrounded by some scenic islands: archipelago of the Egadi Islands to the west, the archipelago.
The town sits at the foot of Mount Filo dell’Arpa the summit can be reached by climbing 700 steps that go through olive trees, caper plants and grapevines. Arriving passengers are welcomed by a couple of donkeys, the only means of transportation that can negotiate the mule track winding its way through the village, which has a population of less than 100 people in the summer and is dotted with orange aloe blossoms and purple bougainvillea. These six islands, measuring just a few square miles, offer a modern vacation dream, Robinson Crusoe style, with sun, the Mediterranean and a bit of privacy.Īlicudi is the smallest of the Aeolian Islands and is less than an hour by ferry from Cefalù (Sicily). Small, isolated and beautiful: when Italy’s favorite islands in the summer-with Capri and Elba topping the list-don’t offer a single peaceful corner and are crawling with tourists, all you need to do is grab the next ferry and head to a peaceful paradise.
