Pantelleria is a Sicilian island located in the center of the Strait of Sicily commonly known as "The Black Pearl of the Mediterranean Sea". The geographical position and the richness of the territory have played a fundamental role in its history: they gave it an immense heritage of biodiversity but also a welcoming place for the peoples of the Mediterranean, as evidenced by the presence of numerous archaeological areas on the island.
The Island is architecturally characterized by the presence of the Dammusi, ancient typical buildings made up of thick walls in lava stone and a domed roof. Outside the residential areas, it is the only type of housing on the island and the most exclusive kind of location for tourist stays.
Among the wonders of Pantelleria they deserve to be mentioned:
- The Lake Mirror of Venus, so called because it is said the Goddess Venus used to mirror there before meeting Bacchus. It is a natural lake filling the crater of a volcano. In addition to the fantastic scenery of flora and fauna, by which it is surrounded, the lake is even more famous for its thermal mud, and it is also suitable for birdwatchers.
- The Castle of Pantelleria, a medieval monument in lava stone used as a prison until 1975, has been used as a museum of the most important archaeological finds (including the famous Imperial Heads), since 2015.
- Balata dei Turchi, one of the most fascinating places on the island. It is a bay with seabed and a ridge with enchanting colors; it is said that it was once a natural stopover used by pirates.
With its varied and evocative landscapes and the thousand possible activities to make, Pantelleria is the right place for those looking for sun, wind, quietness, sea, open-air thermal springs, history and good food.
