Sicily in ancient times was Magna Grecia (Greater Greece), and today at first glance, you might have thought this photo was Greece, but in fact, it’s Levanzo, an island off of western Sicily. Yes, it’s this gorgeous, and so are the other Egadi Islands (Marettimo and Favignana), the Eolian Islands (There are seven of them!), and Ustica, Linosa, Pantelleria, and Lampedusa — all islands off of our mamma island, Sicily! So, if you want to island hop, you will find charm and different personalities on each of these gems of the sea.
