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 is known for its rich layered history shaped by Greek, Roman, Arab, and Norman civilizations. Its landscapes range from the active volcano Mount Etna — Europe's largest — to sun-baked coastlines, ancient temples at Agrigento, and the baroque hill towns of the Val di Noto. Just off Sicily's northeast coast, the Aeolian Islands are a volcanic archipelago offering dramatic scenery, world-class diving, and the still-erupting Stromboli. Travellers are drawn to the region for its outstanding food culture, hiking, sailing, and the chance to explore some of the Mediterranean's most spectacular and historically layered terrain.

Hike the Volcanoes of Sicily & the Aeolian Islands: Self-Launched Edition

Same volcanic thrills, same island-hopping magic — without the guided tour price tag. This self-launched version takes you from Catania to Milazzo, across four Aeolian Islands (Lipari, Vulcano, Salina and Stromboli), and up the slopes of Mount Etna, all using public ferries, hydrofoils and local buses. You'll hike sulphuric craters, kayak hidden coves, sip malvasia wine in Pollara and watch lava pour into the sea from Stromboli's flanks — booking everything directly and keeping your costs firmly in budget-traveller territory. All cost estimates are approximate and based on current independent traveller rates.

Missions

Nobody's posted a Mission for Sicily & Aeolian Islands, Italy yet — which, frankly, is an opportunity.

Wait, what's a Mission?It's not a scheduled trip with dates and a minimum group size like a Departure — it's a goal. Learn to dive, do a Muay Thai camp, live somewhere for a month and work on something, chase one very specific experience. Post it, and other people chasing the same thing find you.

Be the first to post one: "Learn a completely impractical skill from a local — fire spinning, competitive coconut opening, whatever — and become weirdly good at it."
