Things to Do in Lampedusa

Lampedusa lies further south than Tunis, reached by a roughly hour-long flight from Palermo or Catania rather than a short island-hop — the ferry from Porto Empedocle exists but can take most of a day and is weather-dependent. Rabbit Beach (Spiaggia dei Conigli), a protected turtle nesting site, is the reason most people come, alongside boat trips around the island's caves and cliffs. It's a genuine beach-and-boat destination rather than a sightseeing one — there's very little built around history or monuments here.
