Tremiti Islands
Italy · Mediterranean
Italy's only offshore Adriatic archipelago and a protected marine reserve, the Tremiti group draws divers with cathedral sea caves, sheer walls draped in gorgonians and sponges, and dense aggregations of large sea breams and brown grouper; the clearest water and most stable conditions run from May through September.
