ISOLE
EOLIE Seven meteors falling from the sky in a small world where nature and volcanoes weaved with millenniums of history, provoking unimaginable emotions for who is visiting them. Seven islands rich of cultural events which make them a main tourist resort. Each different the one from the other but all together with an ancestral charm which make them one of the most beautiful archipelagos in the world. |

USTICA It was born from the appearing part of a volcanic complex which also includes the submarine Monte Anchise. Its black coasts, pointed and irregular are full of ravines and caves, sailing there you can find wonderful caves (Azzurra, Pastizza, delle barche, verde, del tuono) which draw a labyrinth with tunnels and caves out of water creating a marine paradise which give it the appointment of Reserve. |

PELAGIE
The lonely islands in the open sea: this was the name used by Greeks for describing the natural sight offered by Lampedusa, Linosa and Lampione rock. Belonging to Italian Jurisdiction but closer to Tunisia, they offer to sailors three different views: Lampedusa is 'naked', Linosa on the contrary is full of vegetation and Lampione owns some of the most richest depths. |

MALTA
This Island boasts 7000 years of history, visible everywhere in the landscape and architecture with exciting views and ancient perspectives all wrapped in the tufa colour and the deep blue of the Mediterranean Sea. The archipelago is a sort of open-air museum where you can find prehistoric riddles, the path of S. Paul, the fortifications of the Knights who defended Christianity in the world. |

CAPO
PASSERO
Located in the southern point of Italy, is particularly sought after by divers, who can enjoy some of the most beautiful waters of the Mediterranean Sea, full of grouper, sea bass, snapper, sea bream and other varieties. Even happens to spot the sea turtles that on these shores, came to lay their eggs; even the tuna pass in large flocks in the hallway with the island. |

SIRACUSA
Land of great contrasts, where you cross an illustrious past and a present of extreme modernity, presents various landscapes: green hills and mountains from the sharp beauty, calcareous rocks with a strange gold-white colour, white costs, rapids and lay flat. Sanctuaries, theatres, sculptures, spas and fortresses testify the splendour of the antiquity. |
