Isola Palmaria
2 hours
Palmaria has a vaguely triangular shape and has a surface area of just under 2 km2. Its highest point, the "summit", reaches 180 meters above sea level.
The highest part of the island slopes rather gently on the northern side (the one facing Portovenere) and on the eastern one (opposite La Spezia). These slopes are covered with holm oak woods and Mediterranean scrub, which alternate with ancient terraces.
The western side of Palmaria is instead characterized by vertiginous cliffs of clear rock, which follow one another overhanging the sea.
The only nucleus of houses that could be defined as an inhabited center is Terrizzo, which has roughly fifty inhabitants. On the rest of the island, except for the hordes of summer tourists, human presence is very limited. -
