Cabo de Gata-Níjar Natural Park is one of the most impressive and influential protected areas in Andalusia in the south of Spain due to its incredible biodiversity, well preserved reefs and spectacular volcanic geology.

More than 200 days of sunshine a year led Cres-Lošinj Marine Protected Area in Croatia to become known as the Island of Vitality.

Ventotene and Santo Stefano Islands, tiny islets in the very middle of the Tyrrhenian Sea, are a real paradise for nature enthusiasts.
