Plunge into history and visit the underwater natural museum
Beneath the surface, the island preserves traces of ancient navigation: anchors, routes and stories scattered across the seabed.
Many remains lie hidden among Posidonia oceanica and encrusted over time, but along dedicated underwater itineraries they are revealed and interpreted, allowing you to experience archaeology directly in its original setting.
