The Terrestrial and Submarine Landscape of the Tremiti Archipelago, Adriatic Sea

The archipelago of the Tremiti Islands, situated in the centre of the Adriatic Sea, is considered, nationally and internationally, a very important geological and geomorphological laboratory, rich in Cenozoic stratigraphic, tectonic and, recently, geomorphological studies. Despite the small size of the islands, the present landscape of the Tremiti Islands and of the inner continental shelf shows an outstanding wealth of ancient and present terrestrial and marine landforms. They provide the islands with their intrinsic and distinctive value and beauty and that can be discovered walking on the islands, sailing around them or diving into the turquoise to blue sea.
