Îles d'Hyères, Mediterranean archipelago near Hyères, France

Three main islands form this Mediterranean chain: Porquerolles with sandy beaches, Port-Cros with mountains, and Levant with dense vegetation.

Greek settlers named these islands Stoechades, meaning 'arranged in a line', and established trading posts during ancient Mediterranean maritime routes.

The village of Heliopolis on Levant Island maintains a naturist tradition since 1931, creating a specific social environment within the Mediterranean context.

Regular boat services connect the mainland from Tour Fondue port to Porquerolles in 15 minutes and from La Londe to other islands in 50 minutes.

Port-Cros holds the distinction of being Europe's first combined terrestrial and marine national park, protecting both land and underwater ecosystems.
