A week from the Bay of Naples down through the smoking Aeolian Islands to the exuberant capital of Palermo, a route pairing pastel glamour with volcanic drama. From Capri to erupting Stromboli and chic Panarea, this is Italy at its most theatrical. Expect whitewashed towns and active volcanoes, car-free islands and clear water, ending in three millennia of Sicilian history.
Every route we shape is a starting point, not a fixed schedule. Stay a second day where the light is right, move with the weather, or follow a captain to a quieter cove. What follows is one considered way to read it; the rest we tailor to you.
