I spent one week in Sicily during the summer of 2014. I only saw a little part of the island, but the places I visited were really extraordinary. Here are some pictures of this holidays, from the summit of Mount Etna to the stunning Aeolian Islands!
🇫🇷 J’ai passé une semaine en Sicile à l’été 2014. Je n’ai vu qu’une petite partie de l’île, mais les endroits que j’ai visités étaient extraordinaires. Voici quelques photos de ces vacances, prises depuis le sommet de l’Etna ou dans les merveilleuses îles Eoliennes !
