Pelagie Islands

The Pelagie Islands are a small group of three volcanic islands—Lampedusa, Linosa, and Lampione—located in the Mediterranean Sea south of Italy. They are part of Italy’s Sicily region and are known for their clear waters, rich marine life, and diverse bird species. Lampedusa is the largest and most populated, serving as a popular destination for beaches and diving. The islands have unique ecosystems and are important for both tourism and biodiversity. Their strategic location has historically made them a crossroads for cultures and migration routes across the Mediterranean.
