Known to all as "The Black Pearl of the Mediterranean," Pantelleria is a Sicilian island located in the center of the Strait of Sicily. Its geographical location and the richness of the land have played a fundamental role in its history: they have made it a vast treasure of biodiversity and a place of welcome for Mediterranean peoples, as evidenced by the numerous archaeological sites on the island. Architecturally, the island is characterized by the presence of Dammusi, typical buildings made of thick volcanic stone walls and domed roofs. Outside the inhabited areas, they are the only type of housing present and the most exclusive for tourist stays. Among the wonders of Pantelleria, the following deserve mention: Lake Specchio di Venere (Mirror of Venus), so named because it is said that the goddess Venus would admire her reflection in it before meeting Bacchus. It is a natural lake occupying the crater of a volcano. Famous not only for the fantastic landscape of flora and fauna, the lake is even more renowned for its thermal muds, making it a popular spot for birdwatching enthusiasts. Pantelleria Castle, a medieval monument made of volcanic stone, which served as a prison until 1975 and since 2015 has been home to a museum showcasing the most important archaeological finds, including the famous Imperial Heads. Balata dei Turchi, one of the most fascinating places on the island. It is a bay with stunningly colorful seabeds and cliffs: it is said that it was once a natural harbor used by pirates. With its diverse and picturesque landscapes and a wealth of activities available, Pantelleria is the ideal place for those seeking sun, wind, silence, sea, open-air thermal springs, history, and good food.
