A piece of paradise? Here it is!<\/p>\n

The beauty of the crystal clear waters of Pelagie Islands<\/span><\/strong>,\u00a0their essential landscape,\u00a0their\u00a0depths with the tropical fauna, an amazing variety of fishes<\/span>: groupers and mackerels, parrotfishes and triggerfishes.<\/p>\n

Lampedusa<\/strong><\/span>, together with\u00a0Linosa<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0and\u00a0Lampione<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0composes the\u00a0Pelagie archipelago<\/strong>,\u00a0 from the Greek name\u00a0Pelaghi\u00e8<\/em>\u00a0–\u00a0Islands of the high seas<\/em>, shards of African land, emerged from the Mediterranean Sea.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Linosa<\/strong>\u00a0island, near Lampedusa, has black, volcanic rocks, as an explosion of lava.<\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/div><\/div><\/div>
\"Faraglioni<\/a>

Linosa , Faraglioni – Ph Mannarano<\/p><\/div>\n

Its beaches are arduous and black, and open onto an intense green sea, perfect to discover its wonderful seabeds<\/span><\/strong>. In the heart of its inhabited area, foreshortenings of daily life and histories told by the islanders.<\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/div><\/div><\/div>
\"Piscina<\/a>

Piscina Naturale, Linosa – Ph Mannarano<\/p><\/div>\n

Lampedusa<\/strong><\/span> is at the same time harsh and wonderful.\u00a0The urban center of the island, offers everything for the tourist entertainment: delicious restaurants along the beach, tourist accommodation, rental of means of transport (cars, bicycles, electric or gasoline scooters).\u00a0 There are places with a stillness and silence ideal if you really want to isolate yourself. Get a Mehari and\u00a0drive in the interior of the island<\/span><\/strong>: here different styles mingle while fully respecting the spirit of the island, extremely sophisticated\u00a0 in the use of light and color.<\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/div><\/div><\/div>

With its\u00a012<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0beaches<\/strong><\/span>, you have a good choice! Do not miss Island of Rabbits<\/strong>,\u00a0Cala Galera<\/strong>,\u00a0Cala Francese<\/strong>,\u00a0Cala Greca<\/strong>,\u00a0Cala Creta<\/strong>. They say the overlooking Cala Creta takes your breath away \u2026 undoubtedly the essence of Lampedusa goes straight to your heart.<\/p>\n

Island of Rabbits – Isola dei Conigli<\/strong><\/p>\n

Just a few meters \u00a0far from the west coast of Lampedusa, in front of a stunning sandy beach, is the Isle of Rabbits.<\/p>\n

Contrary to what you may imagine, this little piece of rocky and wild land, shows no trace of rabbits. It is much easier, however, to run into a specimen of loggerhead turtle laying eggs in the nearby beach. It is named Spiaggia dei conigli<\/strong> <\/span>(Rabbits Beach<\/em>) due to its proximity to the Island,\u00a0 and it’s one of the last places chosen by this rare reptiles as their nesting site.<\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Actually\u00a0the name of the Island and of its namesake beach\u00a0is believed to be due to a mistake in interpreting an ancient cartography that reported the name Rabit Island,<\/em> improperly translated from the English word rabbit\u00a0 (coniglio).<\/span><\/p>\n

More likely the word “rabbit” does not indicate the small animal, but results from a very similar Arabic phoneme, which can be translated with the meaning of “connection”, with reference to the isthmus that sometimes comes out between the islet and the coast.<\/p>\n

Name aside, what is certain, in this delectable dream place, is the triumph of the magnificence of nature, the beauty of the beaches, the view and the amazing crystal-clear blue water that turns into a real natural swimming pool.<\/p>\n<\/div>
