Subjects : Breathtaking views overlooking a clear blue sea, hidden coves, white sandy beaches, and the vegetation is particularly lush, but is typical of an isolated island in the sea, low shrubs, a few trees and lots of rocks. And under the sea, a variety of fish and vegetation that rivals the tropical seas!

For those not in a hurry and hydrofoil ferry from Porto Empedocles.

Visits : Museum of Migration of Lampedusa (http://www.museodellemigrazioni.com/) The museum is a space without boundaries, a search on the go. A meeting point in the center of the Mediterranean that witnessed the passage of humans and animals, cultures, histories into a reality as half of Lampedusa.

Notes : August 24: Feast of St. Bartholomew, St. Bartholomew is the patron of Lampedusa. On this day all the shops close (practically all the shops and restaurants are closed, so make sure you can survive!) During the day are organized several initiatives, and in the evening are fired a spectacular fireworks display in the Port area. In this regard, the best place (and the area) where you can see this show is the western end of Via Roma, where, in fact, you can see the port. September 22: Feast of Our Lady of Porto Salvo Our Lady of Porto Salvo. Considered the patron saint of fishermen is represented in a small statue placed underwater in the sea near Cala Galera. In the day of celebration is a procession deeply felt by the faithful. End of September: O'Scià. The project O'scia '(Smells, Sounds, Colors of Islands of Altomare) was born in the summer of 2003 from an idea by Claudio Baglioni.
