The islands of Lampedusa and Linosa, together with the uninhabited rock of Lampione, make up the Pelagian archipelago. They lie some 200km south of Sicily and are geographically part of Africa.
Rarely visited by foreign travellers, the islands have uncrowded beaches and crystal-clear water. Lampedusa is the larger and more developed, with the stunning Rabbit Beach consistently ranked among Europe's best. Linosa is volcanic, tiny, and wonderfully quiet.
