An Italian island in… Africa?? 🇮🇹🏝️🤯

🔐 SAVE this reel

It’s actually more complex than this but allow me to explain… this is:

📍 Pantelleria

A tiny island measuring only 32 square miles located between Sicily and Tunisia, in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea 🌊

Despite being fully Italian, and closely tied to Sicily, Pantelleria actually sits on the African tectonic plate:

🔸 43 miles from Africa
🔸 62 miles from Sicily
🔸 217 miles from mainland Europe

The island is known for its turquoise calas, quaint coastal scenery, natural lava-formed pools, and unique culture strongly influenced by both Sicily and North Africa ✨

Send this to someone who needs to discover Pantelleria too ↗️

Americans will need a new travel permit to visit Europe starting late 2026/early 2027 🤯🇺🇸❌🇪🇺

If you’re a U.S. passport holder, you will soon require an Electronic Travel Authorisation, or ETIAS to visit most countries in the European Union (and associated states and territories).

This is on top of the Entry/Exit System that has launched this year and has been causing severe delays in some airports ‼️

While the official launch date isn’t announced, make sure you keep an eye on the @traveloffpath Entry Requirement Checker

and stay up to date with the fast-changing rules ✅

TOP 10 Prettiest Places To Visit In The UK 🇬🇧
{ outside London }

🔐 SAVE this reel

Having been based in the UK myself, and having travelled up and down the country in my day, here’s some British gems that truly altered my brain chemistry 👇🏼

…and no, I really don’t think Stonehenge or the Cotswolds are really that impressive, especially with the crowds 🫣

1️⃣ York, England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿
—Stunning Old Town, impressive city walls, and Roman heritage everywhere you look

2️⃣ Edinburgh, Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
—Gothic fever dream. Prettiest city in all of Britain, if not Europe as a whole

3️⃣ Causeway Coast, Northern Ireland
—Epic scenery, sandy beaches, castles perched atop dramatic coastal cliffs

4️⃣ Rye, England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿
—Dreamy medieval town with half-timbered houses and storybook-like cobbled streets

5️⃣ Isle of Skye, Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
—Been here 3 times now. Beautiful coastal town in Portree, waterfalls that cascade right into the ocean, and unique Celtic flair

6️⃣ Bath, England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 
—Touristy but rightly so. The Roman History is fascinating and the spa scene has been unrivalled for 1,900+ years

7️⃣ St Ives (Cornwall), England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿
—Cutest little seaside town. It even has its very own ‘Saint Michael’s Mount’, which like the French one sits on a tidal islet

8️⃣ Anglesey, Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿
—Largely undeveloped island best for laid-back getaways. Think sleepy fishing villages, walking trails & Welsh beaches

9️⃣ Isle of Mull, Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
—My 2nd favourite Scottish island after Skye for the colourful harbour town and scenic coastal drives alone

🔟 Lake District, England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿
—Perfect for beginner hikers or if you’re simply looking for a cottage retreat overlooking mountain-backed, serene lakes

Which other UK spots would you add to the list yourself? 👇🏼

How to spend a week in Menorca, Spain 🇪🇸

✨ Wake up with a view in Binibeca Vell

✨ Paella and a swim at one of the island’s many turquoise calas

👉🏼 non-negotiable: siesta 🛌

✨ Old Town dinner in Ciutadella

✨ Repeat 🔁

Menorca is not your usual sightseeing destination that favours action-packed visits and meticulously planned, day-by-day itineraries:

It actually rewards slow travellers.

From the quiet coves of the southeastern coast, to the wine country of the island’s rural interior, and finally its charming medieval port town of Ciutadella,

it’s not somewhere you’ll want to rush through, or reduce to a checklist.

📍 Kolugljúfur Canyon, Iceland 

🇺🇸(English in comment)

Diesen Ort hätten wir auf unserem Island-Roadtrip fast ausgelassen – und das wäre für mich ein riesiger Fehler gewesen. 👀🇮🇸

Der Kolugljúfur Canyon gehört für mich zu den unterschätztesten Stopps im Norden Islands. 

Die Schlucht ist super beeindruckend und der Spot bei weitem nicht so überlaufen wie andere Touri Hotspots - daher ideal für einen ruhigen Zwischenstopp!

Das solltet ihr vor eurem Besuch wissen:
📍 nur etwa 5–10 Minuten von der Ringstraße entfernt
🥾 keine lange Wanderung notwendig
📸 mehrere Aussichtspunkte rund um die Brücke
⏱ perfekt als kurzer Zwischenstopp auf dem Roadtrip
🅿️Parken könnt ihr vor Ort gratis 

Für mich sollte dieser Spot auf jeder Island-Rundreise stehen! 

💾 Speichert euch den Spot für eure Island-Route – solche Orte übersieht man bei der Planung der Ringstraße leider viel zu schnell!

Is it just me or is there something inherently Iberian about Cagliari Sardinia? 🇮🇹🤝🇵🇹

🔐 SAVE this reel

The capital of the Italian island of Sardinia | Sardegna, Cagliari is the spiritual sister of Lisbon in many ways:

🔸 The hilly old town with endless staircases

🔸 Lavishly-decorated Baroque churches

🔸 Picturesque squares framed by colourful buildings

🔸 A fortified ‘Upper Town’ with castle views

🔸 Incredible food—no pastéis de nata, but seadas are just as delicious 😋

Send this reel to someone who needs to visit Cagliari with you 😍↗️

Sicily vs Sardinia: which of Italy’s 2 largest islands is best? 🇮🇹🏝️

👉🏼 SWIPE to find out

Sicily is the largest island in the Mediterranean, known for its bustling port cities, ancient Greco-Roman monuments, and volcanic nature.

Sardinia comes second in size in the Med, fringed by white-sand beaches and dotted with colourful mountain towns and nature reserves.

This is how they both compare ➡️

Sicily | Sicilia | Sardinia | Sardegna | Italy | Italia | Italian destinations | Mediterranean life | Best destinations | Autumn travel | Travel guide

BEST CAPITAL 🏙️

Sicily wins with Palermo 🏆

Cagliari is beautiful, but it can’t hold a candle to Palermo’s lively street markets, Baroque churches, and rich cultural tapestry.

Easily one of the best cities in the Mediterranean, and perhaps my favourite one in Italy as a whole.

BEST BEACHES ⛱️

Sardinia wins without a shadow of a doubt 🏆

Sicily has gorgeous beaches too, but the calas in Sardinia look almost like you’re in the Caribbean:

White sands, turquoise seas like you’ve never seen, and plenty to pick from, from touristy spots like Spiaggia La Pelosa and Cala Coticcio, to lesser-known gems like Cala Li Cossi and Sant’Antioco.

BEFORE WE CONTINUE ☝🏼

This is probably the first and LAST time Instagram will show you my profile.

SAVE 🔐 and FOLLOW ✅ so you don’t miss future posts

BEST CUISINE 🍝

I have a soft spot for Sicilian food… 🫣🏆

Arancini | arancine, cannoli, panelle, sfincione, caponata, pasta alla norma, Favignana’s mouth-watering bluefin tuna. I could go on and on.

ANCIENT RUINS 🏛️

Sicily has the edge here as well 🏆

Sardinia’s Bronze Age nuraghe are fascinating, but I love me a well-preserved Greek temple, and Sicily’s Valley of the Temples might just be the most mind-blowing archaeological zone in Europe.

MOST PICTURESQUE TOWNS 🏘️

This is almost a tie but I’ll give it to Sicily 🏆

From the sea-bordered Ortigia, to the pastel streets of Noto, all the way northeast to Erice’s floating castles and winding lanes, this island is absolutely packed with picture-perfect towns.

BEST NATURE ⛰️

Sardinia takes the cake 🏆

Don’t get me wrong, Sicily is a FORCE of nature—hello, it’s home to E taken in Italia by @traveloffpath

Italy has so many different faces 🇮🇹✨

Tuscany with its rolling hills, vineyards and timeless villages.

Venice with its canals and magical atmosphere.

South Tyrol with its crystal-clear mountain lakes and alpine scenery.

And Rome with its history, architecture and vibrant streets ❤️

Four unique sides of one country.
And that’s exactly what makes Italy so special.
No matter how often you visit, there’s always another side to discover 🇮🇹✨

Which one would you choose: Tuscany, Venice, South Tyrol or Rome?
