Aeolian Islands
The Lipari (or Aeolian, Isole Eolie) islands are located in the Tyrrhenian Sea north of Sicily and consist of eight land areas: six of them form the community of Lipari (Lipari, Vulcano, Stromboli, Filicudi, Alicudi, Panarea), on the seventh island of Salina are the communities of Santa Maria, Malfa and Rinell, and the eighth Basiluzzo is so small that it hardly exceeds 500 m in length.
All islands are of volcanic origin, and on the island of Stromboli there is still a volcano of the same name. In the summer season, three times a week to the islands there is a ferry from Naples, following on to Milazzo in Sicily and returning back. In addition to it, every day the islands are visited by hydrofoil boats from Messina. The Aeolian Islands are the World Heritage of UNESCO.
The Egad Islands
The Egadi Islands (Isole Egadi) are located off the western coast of Sicily, near Trapani, and consist of three large islands - Favignana, Levanzo and Marettimo (and a whole placer of "malyavoks" like Formica). In prehistoric times these islands were part of the mainland and even were inhabited by humans, which is vivid evidence of the drawings in the Grotta del Genovese cave on the island of Levanzo.
In addition, Egad had an active battle in 241 BC. e. between the fleet of Carthage and the Roman Republic, ended with the victory of the Romans.
Pelagi Islands
Iceland Pelagie) - the southernmost archipelago of Italy, which is located between Malta and Tunisia. The archipelago consists of three volcanic islands: the same notorious Lampedusa, which today has become a place of mass migration of people from Tunisia, as well as Linoza and the uninhabited Lampione.
The favorable climate and unique marine fauna (Maltese-Pelagian) attract tourists, but the quantity (about 6 thousand people), alas, are pushing away
Ustica Island
Miniature Ustica (ststica) with an area of only 9 km² is located in the Tyrrhenian Sea, 52 km to the north t Cape Gallo on Sicily. The permanent population of the island, about 1,300 people, gets here on regular ferries from Palermo.
Ustica is famous for its underwater world, which became the first marine reserve in the country in 1986. In July the island hosts an international festival of underwater sports, so it's best to not go here at this time of year - crazy divers will be trampled. The best local dive sites are Secca Colombara in the north and Scoglio del Medico in the west. However, it should be borne in mind that part of the reserve, which carries the mysterious mark Zone A, is protected so much that you can not even swim here.
Pantelleria Island
Pantelleria (with its romantic name "daughter of the wind" from for strong winds blowing from the African coast) is an island in the Sicilian Strait in the Mediterranean, 100 km south-west of Sicily and only 70 km from Tunisia.
The main city with a population of about 3 thousand people is located on the north-west, over a single harbor, and then accessible only to small ships. You can get here by ferry from Trapani. Pantelleria is full of both natural and historical attractions. The glorious history of the island includes the remains of the Neolithic settlement and the unique graves of the "Sesi" (similar to the Nuragi in Sardinia). Nature is famous for its picturesque caves, which are best suited for snorkeling and diving.
