2025 Lampedusa Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in July)

📸Attraction Name: Cala Croce 📍Location : Lampedusa, Sicily, Italy 🚏Best way to get there: boat/scooter/car The water here is unbelievably beautiful. There is a small beach where you could put your towel or rent sunbeds and umbrellas. We stayed on the rocks and set up our own umbrella. Do nothing but swim, float drink and enjoy the beautiful scenery. Bars and restaurants are available. #beachlife #awesomepic

📸Attraction Name: Spiaggia Dei Conigli 📍Location : Lampedusa Italy 🚏Best way to get there: Boat or motorcycle or car First thing first. You need to have a reservation in advance. They only allow 150 people with reservations and 150 without reservations. You have two options, 8:30-13:30 or 12:30-7:30. Believe me it’s worth booking in advance since you can just arrive minutes before your reservation time since they don’t allow people to enter until 5 minutes before the scheduled time. We qeued for no reservation line for over an hour the 2nd time we went there since there weren’t any spots available. From the gate, you need to hike down for about 15-20 minutes, it’s quite tiring but you will be rewarded with the clearest water ever. The water looks like the one in Maldives, and the white sand reminded me of Boracay in Philippines. You can bring your own umbrella or rent from the shop. I promise you, you will not regret it. All you have to do is swim and rest. ✌🏼#beachlife #awesomepic #summervacation

Lampedusa Island, Italy's southernmost "Mediterranean gem," is renowned for its pristine jelly-like sea, wild turtle habitats, and untouched limestone coastline. This small island, separated from North Africa by the sea, is the ultimate secret escape from the hustle and bustle. 🚢 Transportation Guide • Getting there: Accessible only by flights or ferries from mainland Italy (Palermo/Catania) or Tunisia. During peak season (June-September), there are 3-5 flights daily. Booking tickets two months in advance is more cost-effective. • Getting around: There’s no public transport system on the island. Renting an ATV (around €40/day) is highly recommended for easy access between beaches and capturing road trip shots reminiscent of "The White Lotus". 🏡 Accommodation Recommendations • Cala Guitgia Area: Close to diving spots and just a 5-minute walk to the beach. Recommended stay: "Casa del Mare," featuring a terrace with sunset views. • Villaggio (City Center): Conveniently located near restaurants and supermarkets. Opt for apartments with kitchens to prepare seafood and save on expenses. 🤿 Must-Do Experiences 1. Swim with Turtles: • Isola dei Conigli (Rabbit Island): One of the world's top diving destinations. Turtle groups often appear near the reef area, visible while snorkeling. Remember to maintain a 3-meter distance. • Cala Pisana: Dive 12 meters into a cave where sunlight pierces through stalactites, creating stunning "God's Light" photos. 2. Explore Wild Coastlines: • Spiaggia dei Conigli: One of Europe’s most beautiful beaches, with powder-like sand. You might witness turtle nesting in July-August (photography prohibited). • Grotta del Faraglione: Take a boat through natural arches and enjoy thrilling cliff diving. 🍤 Food Radar • La Sirena: A seaside eatery. Must-try: "Spada alla griglia" (grilled swordfish) served with toasted bread. Average cost: €25 per person. • Punto di Vista: A cliffside restaurant offering lobster pasta paired with local white wine. Reserve a window seat in advance for sunset views. Lampedusa’s beauty lies in its untamed wilderness. Whether swimming alongside turtles in crystal-clear waters or walking barefoot on pink sandy beaches, you’ll understand why it’s called "the last paradise of the Mediterranean." Set off now—the sea is waiting for you, and time is shorter than you think.

#europetrip This is one of the most beautiful beaches I’ve ever seen!! The sea water is transparent , there are a lot of fishes and it is just amazing!! But be ready, it is not easy to reach and as it is a natural reserve, there is no service on the beach. So, bring umbrella, food and water with you! There is only one bar near the the road, but from the bar to the beach you have to go downhill around 20 min! Near the bar you can rent umbrella, but it is quite heavy! We bought one in supermarket and it was cheaper than to rent it. My suggestion is to wear the comfortable shoes, not flip flops, as this was our mistake at first day. Try to come as early as possible to find a good place))
