Most Interesting Tiny Island Vacations

Marettimo – Italy

Located just off the coast of Sicily, the island of Marettimo is a hidden gem that tourists haven’t really explored, yet. While it is increasing in popularity, the island is still refreshingly free of hotels, which means that if you stay overnight, you’ll have to find a B&B or rent a room from a local. There are very few cars on the island (boats are more popular), and by the time you’ve been there for a few days, you’ll probably have met most of the residents.
