3Tremiti Islands

This archipelago of islands off the Gargano National Park peninsula in Italy’s southern region of Puglia just sparkles like diamonds in the Adriatic Sea. Ferry services connect Tremiti from the mainland towns of Vieste, Peschici, and Termoli, among others.

While there are five islands in total, the main ones are San Domino and San Nicola. It’s possible to visit the other three by boat and here you can enjoy the islands’ rugged terrain and fantastic scuba diving. There are no cars allowed on the islands but it is small enough to be explored on foot. While most of the beaches are coves or rocky, there is an easily accessible sandy beach at Cala delle Arene.
