The island of Palmaria

We take a short trip by boat from Port Venere to the neighboring island of Palmaria. Below: Portovenere recedes behind us.

Palmaria island

We will hike the road around the island, Strada dei Condannati, “Trail of the Condemned,” built by prison labor

Now we get views from higher up

Crossing the top of the ridge, can see the old watchtower on the La Spezia side of the island

On this side we can also see adjacent Tino Island. A smaller island, Tinetto, is hidden behind it. Note the lighthouse on top.
