The Pelagie, a hidden treasure between Italy and Africa

Isole Pelagie, Lampedusa e Linosa - Lampedusa, Linosa, Lampione, a triangle of islands relegated to the extreme south of Italy, politically belonging to our flag, but geographically one step away from Africa. Lampedusa, the largest of the three, is a real paradise on earth, with wonderful beaches and coves with fine white sand and crystal clear sea. About 30 km from the inhabited center are the splendid Cala Creta and the Mare Morto beach, whose dismal name derives from its northern exposure that shelters and protects it from the winds, ensuring that its waters are always calm.

Symbol of Lampedusa is the famous beach of Isola dei Conigli, repeatedly elected the most beautiful beach in the world and in Europe, awarded with numerous awards and titles for its priceless beauty and cleanliness of the sea. Suffice it to say that its very fine grains of sand have become a favorite place for the Caretta - Caretta turtles to lay their eggs. The natural spectacle offered by these marvelous marine specimens, at the moment of the hatching of the eggs and their first entry into the sea, is of moving beauty. The long path to reach it, beaten by warm winds that blow from nearby Africa, will repay you with a breathtaking view that is difficult to describe in simple words. Here are the ones and the heart to speak after enjoying so much beauty concentrated in just a strip of land. Another natural spectacle offered by the island of Lampedusa is Cala Pulcino. A different path than the beach of Conigli, much more shaded thanks to the presence of a valley strewn with green pines, but with the same magnificent view at its entrance. Not far from Lampedusa is Linosa, another pearl of the Pelagie archipelago, of volcanic formation. Here the Mediterranean plays with its colors to contrast with the dark rocky walls, giving color contrasts of unique and unparalleled beauty. The Pelagie are a treasure to be guarded and protected, a natural spectacle disputed between Italy and Africa.
