Things to do and see

On San Domino, choose from numerous picture-perfect coves such as Cala dello Spido on the west coast, sunbathe on the golden sand beach of Cala delle Arene or follow scenic tracks to find your own secluded cove, wandering past fragrant pine trees and hillsides covered in maquis sprinkled with rosemary and foxgloves. The island can easily be crossed on foot in around two hours.

San Domino is best known for its excellent scuba diving, with several impressive underwater caves to explore as well as coral reefs and a Roman-era shipwreck lying in 25m of water off Cala Zio Cesare. A range of small hotels and guesthouses are available on San Domino.
