Iles Lavezzi
About
The Lavezzi Islands – a cluster of rugged granite islets set about 30 km off the southern coast of Corsica – are a prized natural gem of the Mediterranean. Tourists typically reach them by boat from Bonifacio, where various charter services operate daily, providing guided excursions, snorkeling, and kayaking adventures. The archipelago is renowned for its crystal‑clear turquoise waters, dramatic cliffs, and abundant marine life, including a thriving colony of Scopoli’s shearwaters. With no permanent infrastructure such as restaurants or showers, visitors are encouraged to bring their own supplies and respect the fragile ecosystem. Early‑morning visits in the summer or late‑afternoon trips in spring and autumn offer the best combination of pleasant weather and fewer crowds.
