Discovering Sicily's Aeolian Islands | Untold Italy travel podcast Ep 69

Описание: Just off the north coast of Sicily lies the Aeolian Islands, a volcanic archipelago shaped by fire, sea, and centuries of island life.

In this episode, host Katy Clarke is joined by Sicily travel expert Karen La Rosa to explore what makes these islands such a fascinating and rewarding destination for travellers seeking something a little different.

Karen introduces the unique character of each island, from the steaming fumaroles and lunar landscapes of Vulcano to the lush greenery, caper fields, and vineyards of Salina. They discuss how volcanic activity has influenced not only the scenery but also local food, wine, and daily life, creating an environment that feels raw, powerful, and deeply connected to nature.

The conversation also covers the practical side of visiting the Aeolian Islands, including how to reach them via Milazzo, how ferries connect the islands, and what kind of experiences suit each one. Karen shares insights into walking trails, swimming spots, boat trips, and the slower rhythms of island life that reward travellers who stay longer.

The episode also explores local traditions, myths, and stories that add depth to a visit, and why the Aeolian Islands feel worlds away from mainland Sicily while still offering a strong sense of Sicilian identity. This episode offers inspiration and guidance for anyone curious about Italy’s volcanic islands and the rich culture that thrives among them.

Recorded: April 2021 with Katy Clarke and Karen La Rosa from La Rosa Works Sicily Tours and Travel
