In March, Time Magazine announced the World’s Greatest Places of 2023, a list of “50 extraordinary destinations to explore” around the world. It includes some fairly well-known locations, like Barcelona, Kyoto, Mexico City, and also Naples; plus some unusual places like Musanze (Rwanda), Luang Prabang (Laos), Timisoara (Romania), and Pantelleria, dubbing it “Italy’s new island destination.”

The tiny island adrift between the coasts of Sicily and Tunisia is largely unknown by the flocks of tourists who come to Italy for holidays, and is hardly considered much of a must-see destination. But the charming little island has plenty to offer.
