More specifically, we are going to explore Lampedusa, the largest of the Pelagie Islands. According to Wikipedia.com, the Pelagie Islands are a group of three small islands located in the Mediterranean Sea, south of Sicily, the southernmost part of Italy. If you are knew to traveling, like me, then you have never heard of Lampedusa either.
Now, I don't know about you, but just thinking about Italian food excites me. I cannot imagine Italian food plus an Italian beach.
Yum! Anyways, let's get back to discovering Lampedusa.
Lampedusa has a semi-arid climate, meaning it has very mild winters with moderate rainfall and very hot, dry summers. According to tripadvisor.com, the best time to visit is between May and September.
Lampedusa offers Caribbean-esque waters, white sand and a very unique setting. Rabbit Beach, Lampedusa's hot spot, was voted #1 on the 2013 Travelers' Choice Top 25 Beaches of the World.
Rabbit Beach, also sometimes referred to as Rabbit Island, is actually one of the last remaining egg-laying sites in Italy for the endangered Loggerhead Sea Turtle. The beach and a neighboring island are actually part of a nature reserve. So if you are a turtle fan, this is definitely the spot for you!
