Visit the island of Cretaccio

Cretaccio Island, Tremiti
Cretaccio Island, Tremiti

The island of Cretaccio is the smallest in the Tremiti archipelago. With its length of 400 meters, the island is sometimes mistakenly considered a rock.

It is totally uninhabited, therefore ideal for spending an afternoon in absolute peace. The composition of the soil is strongly clayey and this gives the coasts a characteristic yellowish color.

The absence of vegetation, except for a few sporadic bushes, might suggest that Cretaccio is not interesting enough to visit.

And it's wrong because at sea the island gives its best. The seabed and the sheds will enchant all lovers of scuba diving. You can reach the place with a short crossing, also by means of a boat owned.

It is therefore a wonderful island, ideal for those who want to visit relaxing places far from the chaos of the city.
