Nature wanted to concentrate on an island of just 6.5 kilometers all the fauna and flora with which it characterized the Mediterranean basin, comforting everything with a mild climate and protecting it from the mainland with the most beautiful sheer cliffs in the world and with the most beautiful and full of life sea there is. Nature thus created Palmaria Island.
An island capable of offering traces of the most remote past where man arrived more than 5,000 years ago and where animals — now disappeared — of the Pleistocene era lived, and today to offer breathtaking scenery, unspoiled nature, a marble quarry black with golden streaks (called portoro), two fortifications recovered today, memories of the Second World War but above all unparalleled privacy and the possibility of experiencing a holiday in direct contact with life in the open air and all the activities that can be linked to it.
Since 1997 the island, together with the other Tino and Tinetto islands, Porto Venere and the Cinque Terre has been included in the UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
