SICILY
As the largest island in the Mediterranean, Sicily is much loved for its rich and varied cultural history, vibrant street food scene and plethora of stunning natural parks in which to explore. What’s more, thanks to its ideal cruising proximity to the stunning Aeolian archipelago, there are active volcanoes, sparkling azure waters and spellbinding panoramic views within easy reach. Situated just off the toe of the Italian boot, it also boasts a worldclass kite surfing and windsurfing scene, as well as several new golf courses. And when you’re looking to slow down a little, you can experience some of the island’s renowned state-of-the-art mineral and sulphur rich waterbased spa treatments. Start your adventure in the historic city of Naples on mainland Italy, and as your week unfolds, you can explore medieval ruins by day while watching volcanic eruptions on Stromboli by night as well as making time to enjoy all that this richly diverse part of Southern Italy has to offer, with cooking classes and wine tastings an absolute must for the discerning traveller. 38
