Stop off to dive into the water and go snorkelling. See the thriving marine life that lives here and the colourful coral that grows along the shallow seabed. Relax on sunbathe on quiet secluded Blue Flag beaches and enjoy a picnic as you gaze out upon the glittering stretches of blue sea.
A frequent ferry sails between Palmarola and Zannone every thirty minutes so most of these islands can be quite easily visited within a fun packed day trip.
Palmarola is an extremely steep rocky island, famous for the eerily clear waters that lap up on its shores.
