About Islands of the World
The Mediterranean alone holds enough islands to fill a lifetime of summers, from the lemon terraces of Sicily to the whitewashed lanes of Crete. Farther out, the Indian Ocean has Madagascar, a place so long cut off that most of its wildlife lives nowhere else on earth. Some islands are famous for a song or a postcard, others for a single dish or a stubborn old language.
