Description

The island owes its name to its shape, which resembles a snake with the head turned southward. In the proximity of the tail, in the northern part, you will find the so called Variglioni. Natural pools of breathtaking beauty form between these three granite rocks. The island is dominated by the tower ‘Torre di San Luigi’ which is nowadays uninhabited. For this reason, the island is characterised by an uncontaminated natural setting. It is easy to see schools of dolphins, when sailing around it. It is a part of the Marine Protected Area of Capo Carbonara, due to the richness of its flora and fauna.

There are no facilities available.
