“I’ve been lucky enough to participate in three trips with Sicily Unlimited, most recently Salina, Aeolian Islands. It’s hard to find the words to describe how truly memorable they are, and Salina was no exception. We were treated to a week of truly exceptional experiences, many not available to regular visitors and, with such an inside view of local life and culture, the learnings were so rich. We met such fascinating, welcoming & hospitable host and enjoyed fabulous local food and drink around the table, sharing interesting conversation at the same time. As I have said so often since I returned, the trip was an absolute dream, and one that I will never forget. They say that Salina is like paradise, and now I know why. For anyone interested in Sicily and its food and culture, then Sicily Unlimited tours are hard to beat.”

“The custard coloured church of Santa Marina comes into view as the hovercraft pulls into Salina. We are so pleased to be back with ‘Sicily Unlimited’ on a second visit to ‘A Cannata’ in Lingua and the warm welcome of Santino and his partner, Aphrodite. Already looking forward to the freshly caught fish, capers.
It is not just the coast, and places like Pollara where ‘il Postino’ was filmed that attract in Salina. This is the most relaxed of the Aeolian islands, this time confirmed by a memorable trip inland, walking through the vineyards and verdant valley around Valdechiesa, expertly guided by Guiseppe La Malfa. This was a relaxed week of exploration, conviviality, long lazy lunches, Malvasia, with like-minded friends who are happy to return to Sicily again and again.”
