The Mediterranean island of Lampedusa (Italian: ''Isola di Lampedusa''; Sicilian: ''Isula di Lampidusa'') belongs to Italy and is the largest of the Pelagie Islands, situated 111 nM (205 km) from [[Sicily]], 90 nM (167 km) from [[Malta]], and 63 nM (113 km) from [[Tunisia]]. The Lampedusa has an area of 20 km<sup>2</sup> and a population of 5,300. Its population subsists on fishing, agriculture and tourism. It is a major holding area for Africans immigrating to Europe (being that there is a Italian Military base on the Island with detention facilities).

Lampedusa has a small harbor full of fishing boats and even in early May it is hard to find a place for your yacht. You may find room to go side-to on the E side of the harbor but watch the depth because it can be shallow (< 2.0 metres).
