Pantelleria
Black-volcanic, wind-carved, between Sicily and Tunisia. Zibibbo wine vines pressed into the lava, dammuso stone houses, the Specchio di Venere thermal lake. Italian designers' favourite weekend.
When to go
From the 2026 climate study, not the live forecast.No proper beaches — swimming is from rock platforms into clear water. Wind is constant; July and August can hit 38°C+ on the leeward east side. June and September are the windows when the wind softens but the sea is warm (22–25°C). Direct flights from Trapani, Palermo, and (summer only) Milan and Rome.
Pre-filled from New York.
