DO YOU KNOW
YOUR ISLANDS? Did you know... Malta is an independent country that enjoys 300 days of sunshine a year and the greatest density of historic sights of any nation... Sicily is the largest island in the Mediterranean where you’ll find significant cultural artifacts and architecture at every turn... tiny Ponza is a low-key spot for Italians who like a laid-back beach-and-boating vacation... Lipari, the largest of the Aeolian Islands off Sicily, has a fine archaeological museum with artifacts going as far back as the Neolithic period... the mountainous French island of Corsica is Napoleon’s birthplace... and Elba, where he was exiled, has been a wine making region since the days of ancient Rome!
