Magical Sicily and the Aeolian Islands
Eight days of pure beauty. Erice’s medieval streets were like a movie set, and Agrigento’s ruins were awe-inspiring. The Aeolian Islands felt untouched and peaceful. I loved the slower pace compared to mainland tours. Evenings by the sea with fresh seafood and local wine — perfection.
