Pantelleria is closer to Tunisia than to Sicily — and it feels it. A volcanic island where traditional dammusi stone houses dot the black lava landscape, natural hot springs bubble at the shore (Lago di Venere), and the capers grown here are considered the finest in the Mediterranean. No sandy beaches — the swimming is from rocks into crystal-deep water. This filters out the beach-umbrella crowd.
