Location

The Pelagic Islands, Isole Pelagie, are made up of Lampedusa, Linosa and the uninhabited island of Lampione, and are the southernmost group of Sicilian islands, being 200 and 160km/125 and 100mi respectively from Sicily and only 110km/68mi from Tunis. Lacking in vegetation and springs, they tend to be rather neglected by tourists in spite of some scenic places of interest.
