The hiking trail to the lighthouse on the south coast of the island has a very special atmosphere. From afar, you can see the old "Faro di Punta Libeccio," rising high on a cliff above the sea. The path is rocky, surrounded by pine trees and dense Mediterranean vegetation, making the hike somewhat challenging but rewarding.
The lighthouse itself, built in 1860 with its distinctive octagonal tower, may seem somewhat abandoned and is officially closed, but the view of the sea, the history, and the wind blowing around the ruins alone make the visit special. You feel the power of history at this place, which not only serves as a nautical landmark but also provides a connection to Tunisia – the Capo Bono lighthouse is directly opposite, and sometimes the beams of light from both towers can be seen "kissing."
A special moment awaits you if you arrive in the evening. The solitude of the place and the light gently falling on the sea make you feel the vastness of the horizon. Ideal for ending the day in peace.
