LMP is the airport code for Lampedusa, the largest of Italy's Pelagie Islands, lying in the Mediterranean south of Sicily and actually closer to the coast of Africa than to the Italian mainland. Despite its remote position, Lampedusa is a popular summer destination for its extraordinary sea, with clear turquoise water and rocky coves. Its most famous spot is Rabbit Beach, the Spiaggia dei Conigli, repeatedly ranked among the best beaches in the world and an important nesting site for sea turtles, where access is limited to protect the wildlife. The island is reached by direct flights to Lampedusa Airport, about an hour from Palermo, with more routes in summer, or by ferry from Porto Empedocle in southern Sicily. The climate is hot and dry in summer and mild in winter, and the island is busiest in the warm months.
