The 11 Most Underrated and Beautiful Islands in Italy

Amazing island, it has really beautiful beaches, nice forest parks in the center, and also has incredible hike paths. The rock formations on this island are also special and really beautiful. You can easily spend the whole day in there exploring its variety of nature and not get bored. Doing it by car is probably the most optimal in summer

Beautiful green and rugged island. Lovely beaches. Ensure you plan ahead - some beaches need a booked guide to hike in.

Unless you are in for a hike or bike trip, would recommend staying here, there are far better beaches and can't even think of them without a car. Other than that, the natural preserved beauty is to mention, lovely pines and very little human intervention.

Beautiful island once belonged to Giuseppe Garibaldi who was the military leader of the Thousand and lead the military expedition that unified the kingdom of Italy under the rule of Savoia. Offers really beautiful beaches and some not so crowded places where you can enjoy the nature in peace al alone.

One of the most beautiful seas of Italy, probably of whole Europe. Avoid August if you can, the island is very crowded during these days.

No word needed! Heaven in every sense but avoid late July and August. Some of the best diving spots in the area

Wild and beautiful. Yesterday around 7.30 pm 7 large goats came to the beach to eat from bushes. We were curious about them and they were curious about us

National park with fantastic views
