THE MADDALENE

It is the main island of the archipelago and the only inhabited one.

The town of La Maddalena is among the mandatory stops for those visiting the archipelago.

There are then some coves on the island that are really worth visiting.

Spreader, northeast, where you can stay at the buoy; French Cove, a cove sheltered from the wind;

also offers a granite quay that can be used to go ashore and visit the interesting quarries that were decommissioned in the 1930s and still retain their charm.

CAPRERA

It is connected to La Maddalena by a bridge-diga.

Virtually uninhabited, the island alternates between rocky shores on the east side and flat stretches with beaches along the west coast.

The main cove is Cala Coticcio, a true natural paradise is considered among the most beautiful coves in Italy.

Porto Palma: It is a large and beautiful bay but above all safe. A true natural harbor.

Cala Napoletana set at the end of an inlet located below Punta Galera in the northern extremities of the island. Porto Palma, the largest roadstead opening south of Caprera, is also worth a visit; it is an excellent shelter and is home to the Caprera Sailing Center, one of Italy's oldest sailing schools. Quieter but equally spectacular is Cala Portese, which opens up past Isola Rossa.

SPARGI

  • Corsara Cove
  • Ferrigno Cove

To the south we find Cala Corsara, stunning. There are many boats that visit it given its beauty; if you can and there is room, stop at night to sleep in the roadstead. For those who go diving, you can dive among the gorgonians of the Spargiottello shoal.

The small Cala Ferrigno to the northeast is also protected from the Mistral, and there is an old military pier where you can attach your tender to go ashore and take a short path to the top of the island where you can admire a magnificent view of the entire archipelago.

PORT OF MADONNA

It is the junction of the islands Razzoli, Santa Maria and Budelli, is also called "the pools" because of the color of the clear and transparent water.

LAVEZZI AND BONIFACIO

Cove Lazzarina is beautiful, worth seeing but here you get there if wind conditions allow, in Bonifacio you have to book the place boat.

Bonifacio is known for its lively marina and medieval citadel on the cliffs.
Entering the Bonifacio Fjord through the high white cliffs provides excitement.
