Linguaglossa, Italy to Catania, Italy
According to legend, three mythological nymphs created Sicily. And what a land they made. Whitewashed towns cling to cliffs high above the sea. Tendrils of hot steam drift above volcanic rocks. Trees and wildflowers embellish the green hillsides. And just off the coast, discover the magic of the Aeolian Islands. However it came to be, this place is spectacular.
