Sicily, Volcanoes & the Aeolian Islands

By Butterfield & Robinson

The varied landscapes are only topped by Sicily’s rich culture—influences can be seen from the Greeks, Romans, French, German, Normans and Moors, making Sicily a world of its own through the architecture, cuisine and dialect found nowhere else in the country.

It’s a feast for the senses, and we couldn’t think of a better way to experience the best of the region on a trip that’s as rich in culture as it is in the incredible sites, hotels and wine.

We chatted with Dana Quinn, Experience Designer for Sicily, about the highlights travellers can expect on our Limited Edition Sicily, Island & Volcanoes trip.

Stromboli's volcano produces a natural lava firework show every 20-30 minutes. According to our Guide Giorgia, it's been acting up more than usual the past few years

The Aeolian archipelago consists of seven UNESCO-protected islands: Lipari, Salina, Stromboli, Vulcano (pictured above), Filicudi, Alicudi & Panarea
