Located just off the southern coast of Sicily, Lampedusa is Italy’s southernmost island, laying right at the heart of the Mediterranean Sea. There are weekly sailings to Linosa, a small island neighbouring Sicily, and Porto Empedocle, an Italian coastal resort laying on the south west coast of Sicily. Famous for its glorious beaches and scorching sun, Lampedusa has become a hotbed of tourism, with visitors typically from Western Europe heading there for their summer holiday. The most famous attraction on Lampedusa is Rabbit Island, dubbed by respected blog website Huffington Post as the best beach in the world. Ironically, there are no rabbits on the island, however, the beach is famous for the loggerhead sea turtles that frequent the waters and can even be seen by non-swimmers. Nature and animal lovers will also be delighted to know that whales and dolphins can be spotted from the cliffs of the island; there are spots specifically designed for whale spotters to sit and spend an afternoon. Away from the beaches and sea life, the Lampedusa Cross is a must see when visiting the island. Remarkably, the cross is made from pieces of a shipwrecked boat that crashed off the coast of Lampedusa in 2013. The cross was designed to symbolise the lost lives of the refugees, but also a reminder that inhabitants of the island helped save the lives of 155 people on the ship. Many choose to get around the island by hiring a moped, creating a quick and easy way to explore. Alternatively, there are taxis available to transport passengers to and from the ferry terminal.
Situated in the Sicily Channel of the Mediterranean Sea, Linosa is one of the smallest islands belonging to the Pelagie Islands. Due to the relatively small population and size of the port, only two ferry routes leave Linosa; a crossing to Porto Empedocle in Sicily and to Lempedusa, another Italian island. Linosa’s pulling power lies in the unusual colours that form the landscape, showcasing the low vegetation, black lava rocks, black coves, red mineral deposits and yellow clay areas. The island is regarded as the smaller, quieter version of Lampedusa, offering tranquil beaches and numerous places to swim amongst the emerald waters. Linosa is typically used as a peaceful haven where tourists can escape from the hustle of more populated areas; the sleepy, leisurely lifestyle makes it the ideal destination for a romantic getaway or a family holiday. For a great diving spot, head to the deep blue seas of Sicchitella for the flora and fauna and shipwreck that frequent the waters. Other beaches are more accessible and are within walking distance of the town centre – Pozzolana is a favourite for the spectacular rock formations next to luxurious beaches. The island is so small that it can comfortably be covered by foot in just over a day. The ferry port lies on the south coast of the island, with locals happy to direct any lost tourists.
