The Summary

Alla famiglia! 2 weeks in a villa in Eastern Sicily with my family and friends in a gorgeous rented villa. We'll be based in Aci Sant'Antonio, in the shadow of Mount Etna, near the fishing villages of Acireale and the main city of Catania. On the itinerary: Taormina and it's Greek ruins on the rugged coastline, the Aeolian Islands, including volcanic Stromboli, with its lava flowing into the ocean and tiny, untouristed Gagliano Castelferrato to see our Sicilian cousins.
