Filicudi

Even though trendsetters from mainland Italy are starting to snatch up property on unspoiled Filicudi, the tiny island (for now) remains largely undeveloped. During the high season, it's a great place to escape the crowds found on Panarea and Salina. Go for a hike through lush landscapes, studded with caper plants, wild fennel and prickly pear, and end with a long lunch at small pensione La Sirena (Localita Pecorini a mare, (39)-090-988-9997, www.pensionelasirena.it/en/).
