The island boasts a rich history, beautiful scenery and vibrant culture.
Italy boasts about 450 beautiful islands, but recently one of them attracted attention for its mild May weather and excellent wine.
According to the Daily Express, Pantelleria, also known as the Black Pearl of the Mediterranean, is located between Sicily and Tunisia and, according to tourists, is a place that should not be overlooked.
It is noted that the island boasts a rich history, beautiful landscapes and vibrant culture. It is also famous for producing incredible wine, is home to many vineyards, and boasts its own traditional grape-growing technique that has been passed down from generation to generation. In fact, the method known as vite ad alberello was the first agricultural technique recognized by UNESCO.
The island has beautiful weather in May, and the average temperature reaches a maximum of 26 degrees. The best way to explore the island is by hiking, and according to the Sicilian Tourism Board, to explore the “secrets” of Pantelleria, visitors should hike through the countryside.
“While exploring the surrounding area, travelers will find many gems, including beautiful gardens, archaeological sites and underwater historical sites that can be explored by diving,” the article says.
Also the island’s famous landmark, the Elephant Arch, located on the east coast, is also a must-see destination. The elephant trunk-like rock formation stretches from the island’s cliffs to the sea and is one of Pantelleria’s main tourist attractions and most photographed attraction. One visitor wrote that the natural arch is “a must-see for all Pantelleria travelers.”
The interesting thing is that although the island has no sandy beaches, its coastline boasts cliffs, rocky streams and many underwater caves, which makes it quite unique. There are also many opportunities to relax on one of the many Pantelleria lakes.
Specchio di Venere, which translates as Mirror of Venus, is one of the most famous lakes on the island. This is an ideal place for those who are looking for a relaxing holiday. In this charming location, visitors can take baths and mud baths in the natural pools, which reach temperatures of 50 degrees. One tourist told me:
“I was pleasantly surprised by the scenic value of this place. Mud baths, cool waters, lush vegetation and a very nice trattoria nearby. A must for any traveler to Pantelleria.”
