Ferries to Pelagie Islands

The Pelagie Islands consist of three islands:

• Lampedusa, the largest and most populated
• Linosa, volcanic and inhabited
• Lampione, a small, uninhabited nature reserve not accessible to tourists

The name Pelagie comes from the Greek pélagos, meaning “open sea,” reflecting their central Mediterranean location.

They lie in the central Mediterranean Sea and belong to the Province of Agrigento, Sicily.

The islands are approximately 205 km south of the Sicilian coast and only 113 km from Tunisia.
