Known for its rugged beauty and rich natural environment, Palmaria offers a fascinating mix of rocky cliffs, dense Mediterranean vegetation and crystal clear waters. The island is a paradise for hikers and nature lovers, with well-marked trails offering stunning panoramic views of the sea and surrounding coastline. Visitors can explore the impressive Blue Grotto, a sea cave with striking blue waters, and the historic fortifications that dot the island, remnants of its strategic military importance.

The Tino Lighthouse is also located on the island, which has guided sailors safely since the 19th century.
