Li Galli Isles

Li Galli is a tiny archipelago of three privately owned islets off the Amalfi Coast, between Positano and Capri — known in Homer's Odyssey as the home of the Sirens, the creatures whose song lured sailors to their deaths. The main islet, Gallo Lungo, was bought by ballet dancer Rudolf Nureyev in 1989 and remains a private estate now owned by his foundation. Boats cannot land on the islets but anchor offshore in 8-15 metres of deep blue water with clear visibility to the rocky bottom. The geological shape — three rocks arranged like a flying dolphin — gives the islets their other name, "the dolphins." Li Galli is 30 minutes from Positano. Season runs April through October.

Recommended duration: ideal for 1 days
