EOLIAN ISLANDS The Eolian archipelago is formed by seven
islands surfacing from the sea north-east of Sicily and they
spread out with an arch of 45 miles. The home of Eolo, god of
the winds though here fire prevails over air. Of volcanic
origin, with Stromboli and Vulcano still active, the islands
offer the most varied and contrasting landscapes and sceneries,
particularly interesting depths and coasts and a mild
mediterranean climate with little showers. This allows tourism
during early spring as well as late autumn.
EGADI AND PELAGIAN ISLANDS The Egadi Islands are an
archipelago of 3 islands west of Sicily: Favignana, Levanzo
and Marettimo (the farthest). All the islands offer many bays
and coves protected from all winds. The archipelago of the
Pelagian Islands is situated south of Sicily, closer to
Tunisia than to Italy. The name is of Greek origin and means "sea".
The three islands are Lampedusa, Linosa and Lampione. |
