SICILY’S AEOLIAN ISLANDS: HOME OF THE SIRENS Seven islands with over 5000 years of history await you. 38 RYDERWALKER.COM | 888.586.8365 EUROPE F rom across the aquamarine waves, their call can be heard for thousands of leagues. Ulysses surely wasn’t the first to hear their sound as he crossed the Adriatic, Aegean, and Tyrrhenian seas on his Odyssey, but he definitely was a notable visitor – the Aeolian Islands, home of the sirens. Tour highlights begin with your stay in Taormina, idyllically perched on a rocky promontory high above the sea followed by your visit to the small volcanic island of Vulcano in the southernmost of the Aeolian Islands. Volcanos are the reason why people first came to the region, and the soil that resulted from their eruption is the reason why everything that grows here has that special, magic quality. Your visit to a live volcano on the tiny island of Stromboli will be as memorable as the friendly people and outstanding cuisine.
