Skip the boat tour and opt for a hike from the beach instead, then enjoy a swim inside 👌👌👌

The Tremiti area is stunning and well-loved for its fine, white sand that makes the water clear and crystalline. The region is also adorned with spectacular cliffs. Accessible only by sea, it can become quite crowded during certain times of the year.

Located among the enchanting coves of the Tremiti Islands, one cannot help but be captivated by the myriad colors and shades that transition from bay to bay. Anyone fortunate enough to spend time in the Diomedee leaves with a special memory that remains vivid over time. One of the must-know highlights of the Tremiti Islands is Pagliai Beach on San Domino. Renowned as the most famous and selfie-worthy inlet, this spot is named for its enormous boulders that rise from the sea, resembling large bales of straw resting on the water.

Discussing the beauty of these places is almost redundant; it's a fantastic experience. However, to truly appreciate the Tremiti Islands, you need to have the option of renting a dinghy or exploring the various coves.
