Beatiful place in the middle of nature
Pantelleria is a beautiful and very esclusive place. It is not very easy to get there because direct flights from the main Italian cities are only in very high season that is only from middle of June up to the end of August. I recommend the low season because the weather is very nice all over the year especially in June, September or even October. We have been at the Specchio di Venere ( which means the mirror of Venus) in June. You can walk all around the vulcanic lake and also swim. There are some spots which have some thermal water but in reality the water is not too hot. The athmosphere is beautiful and nature quite stunning. If you want to eat a little something go to the small trattoria called Pina. You have to a little patient and then you will eat a beautiful "pantesca salad" with tomatoes picked directly from her garden. Relax and enjoy.....

One of the main attractions of Pantelleria
Good for a few hours of suntanning within a volcano created lake full of sulphuric elements which you can use for a mud facial and cake your body with it to bake in the sun as what the locals do. A nice walk around the lake will also discover pockets of water bubbling with warm water from its past volcano history.

Amazing place to swim when sea is rough or too many jellyfish,
Loved swimming here when the sea was too rough. Took my flippers and crossed the whole lake and back easily. No danger(boats, jellyfish, rocks), like a huge swimming pool. Water is salty, warm and calm. A great (natural) option and better han any swimming pool!
