Stop at a sheltered cove to swim and snorkel. Return to the hotel and free afternoon.
Third day

Today we explore the northwest side. We walk along one of most picturesque trails on Pantelleria, among bush-trained vineyards, caper bushes, and ancient dammusi. The route leads to the majestic Punta Spadillo Lighthouse, overlooking an intense and wild sea. After visiting the Volcanological Museum, with its brand new Sea Room offering an emotional journey through the island's seabed, the trek ends with a refreshing swim at Cala Cottone, where we can recharge our batteries with a refreshing dip in the sea. Free afternoon.
Fourth day

By minibus, we then reach the natural sauna of Benikulà, carved into the lava rock, for a healthy Turkish bath. Free afternoon.

Sixth day
Pantelleria between history and spas
Pantelleria is also history: a day dedicated to archaeological sites that tell the story of ancient peoples, from theAcropolis of San Marco , which reveals the Punic presence, to the Byzantine tombs carved into the rock in the Gibbuina forest, in the Piana di Ghirlanda. After a full immersion in the history and charm of Pantelleria's traditions, the afternoon ends at the Gadir thermal baths, a pleasant and charming village known for its healing waters that reach temperatures between 40 and 60 degrees, where we will have the opportunity to experience a moment of pure well-being thanks to the clear and fresh waters of the sea of Pantelleria.
Seventh day
Lake of Venus and capers
During this week's vacation in Pantelleria, a visit to one of the island's most iconic places was a must: Lake of Venus. This is one of the most fascinating examples of biodiversity and primordial life. Here you can immerse yourself in the thermal waters and apply natural mud, while the volcanic landscape all around amplifies the feeling of well-being and suspension. Cleaned up and regenerated, we continue with a visit to the Caper Museum , which allows us to learn about one of Pantelleria's most representative crops, now world-renowned for its organoleptic qualities. This stop will give us an understanding of what life was and still is like for Pantelleria's farmers and the deep bond between man and the land. Free afternoon.
