Natural Areas Lampedusa

A descent is rather difficult to Cape Grecale, located North-East of the island. We will admire the flora and fauna . On the saddle of rock you will see the prairie, while in the more shade the croakers.

Staying in the northern part of the island, you can practice the immersion of Taccio Vecchio, a place defined by the sub truly magical. In this area, the bottom gets to be up to 8 meters deep. It is rich in fish, especially species of the colorful parrot. The more experienced, they can enter the tunnel into which the light creates the fabulous games mingling with the blue of the sea. Among the rocks, it is not uncommon to find the hermit crab Bernard and the mullet.

To the east of the island of Lampedusa you can relax in one of the many coves thet you can find there. Among these we suggest Cala Calandra, also called "the Dead Sea". The latter nickname is due to the fact that it is sheltered from the winds, especially the mistral, which blows often on the island. On this beach, not sandy but rocky, you can enter the caves, or simply hire sunbeds and umbrellas.

The island of Lampedusa is protected from the wind by Punta Parrino. Here you can swim in stretches of Posidonia Oceanica being careful to the sea current. There are so many fish species that you may encounter.

The more daring can try their hand at downhill Le Corna where it goes down to -45 meters and where groupers are the masters without being frightened by the presence of divers.

The Grottacce are famous and unique in the world because of their natural cavities but they are not proper caves. The West is 7 meters deep with a cavity submerged 17; Eastern Eurasia, however, is a circular open air.

Among the most beautiful island rocks figure the Scoglio del Sacramento. Nearby you can see the stack and below it the cave that takes the same name. The bay where the rock is located is called the Madonna because there is a limestone formation that recalls.

A rock to see is called the Vela. It is located in the highest point of the island. If you visit the island by land you will find yourself in an area characterized by a small round building which encloses a wooden crucifix. Beyond the low stone wall, you can see the stack called the Vela and the cliffs that drop to the sea. The rock of the sail is considered as the stack for excellence in Lampedusa due to its beauty and suggestiveness, especially at sunset.

Going to the northern part of the island of Lampedusa, along terraces and bottoms, you get to Punta Cappellone. In this spectacular jump, you can do several meetings: tuna, kingfish, moray eels, snappers, groupers and lobsters as well as salpe colored swim in droves. If you push on the rocks resting on the sand, in the most shade you can see the huts of croakers and musdee.
