Tremiti Islands

Tremiti  Islands


The Tremiti Islands (Isole Tremiti) is a group of four islands located around 35 kilometres from the Gargano National Park in the Province of Foggia. The islands can be reached by ferry from various places on the Italian mainland including Vieste, Rodi Garganico and Peschici, all of which are towns on the Gargano Peninsula. Those routes are only available during the summer months, while out of season you can also reach the islands from the town of Termoli in the region of Molise. 

​What the islands lack in size, (the total size of all four islands combined is just 4 square kilometres), they make up for in beauty. From each of the islands it's just a short hop (well ok, boat ride) to any of the others and their defining feature is the crystal clear water. Having personally visited all of Italy's coastline and islands, I would say the water here is just about the most spectacular. 

The ferries arrive on either San Domino or San Nicola which are the two main islands. San Domino has a beautiful, sandy beach and is also where you'll find the island group's four hotels and the majority of its restaurants. Throughout the day there are boats crossing to San Nicola which is a different kind of island; the main attraction here being the monastery. You can take a really interesting hike from one end of San Nicola to the other and it's from here that you'll get the best views of the other islands. There are also some restaurants on San Nicola and it also has its own beach.

​To visit the other two islands it's best to either hire a boat or take one of the various boat trips on offer from San Domino. The island of Capraia (not to be confused with Capraia in Tuscany), is the third largest of the group and uninhabited, as is the case with the smallest of the four islands, Cretaccio.
