Lampedusa, just try & buy!

Just back from one stunning & refreshing week in Lampedusa, a small island below Sicily, actually situated 205 km from Sicily and 113 km from Tunisia (almost Africa!It's very hot but windy)
For Geography, History & co enjoy Wikipedia :)

Some pics to let you know that you HAVE to go there.

It's simply heaven, with beautiful sea, lots of fishes swimming all around you and the warmest local people you could find.

ElectroSuggestions:
Rent a motorbike or a scooter, you can't live without in the island.
Have dinner (once, cause it's a little money consuming) at Gemelli Restaurant, near the old harbour (and airport). Fine Fantasy cooking but surely worthy.

Enjoy the sunset@ Cala Croce happy hour (Tunéz), drinking superior white wine & tasting arancini

Fly with Alitalia (myair is frequently very late, the airport is smaller than my house!)
Have a boat trip (one day, from 10 am to 6.30pm). Surely the best way to explore the beautiful coast and small beaches. There' s also a disco-boat where you can dance during the trip!
Go to Isola di Conigli Beach, Cala Creta (my fav) & Cala Croce.

Both in Creta&Croce, there are small chiringuitos & resto near the beach for amazing lunches & breaks, in Conigli bring water & food with you cause there is nothing to buy in place (neither services of course, it's a natural reserve).

me and the sea during the boat sailing trip

We stayed at Le Villette di Baia Grecale, really cozy and perfectly located to enjoy the island.

Breakfast was included and served in a really nice restaurant near the beach

Other suggested places:

Ntoni Restaurant (Cala Madonna) cheap and cozy

13.5 Happy Hour in Via Roma (the main street in the small town centre). Great for gelati too(& pianobar hehe)

Polpo Escondido (near the old harbour)

Nautic Restaurant

teste pazze hairdresser (just in case!)
