Palmaria, Island in Porto Venere, Italy.
The triangular island spans 1.6 square kilometers in the Ligurian Sea, featuring Mediterranean vegetation and steep cliffs along its western coast.
The abandoned quarry at Pozzale holds remnants of industrial machinery that once extracted valuable Portoro marble during the region's mining period.
The Blue Cave and Cave of Pigeons contain archaeological treasures, including human burial sites and fossilized remains dating back five thousand years.
Regular ferry services operate from La Spezia, Lerici, and Porto Venere, providing access to different landing points around the island throughout summer months.
The island harbors 500 plant species, including the rare Centaurea cineraria veneris that grows exclusively on Palmaria's terrain.
