Isola delle Correnti, Siracusa
Sicily
Capo delle Correnti near Portopalo di Capo Passero is the southernmost point of Sicily — a small island connected at low water by a sand bar, where the Mediterranean and Ionian seas meet in visible turbulence. Loggerhead turtle nesting on the beaches. The latitude is further south than Tunis. The sea is intensely blue. Migrating raptors make landfall here in spring. Dogs welcome.
