Corvo Island

7 of the Smallest Islands in the World—Including One Made of Shells

"The smallest of the Azores at roughly 6.6 square miles, this island’s main attraction is the Caldeirão, an impressive volcanic crater with two lakes ringed by grassy fields and wildflowers. Hike around the crater for unforgettable views, then visit the only village, Vila do Corvo—home to just 380 residents—before catching the ferry back to Flores Island." - Stacey Leasca Stacey Leasca Stacey Leasca is an award-winning journalist and co-founder of Be a Travel Writer, an online course for the next generation of travel journalists.
