Lampedusa Airport: where to stay, areas and recommended hotels
Lampedusa Airport: where to stay, areas and recommended hotels
Lampedusa is small and the airport is practically inside the town: every beach in this guide is 2-3 kilometres away, a 10-15 minute taxi or shuttle ride, which some properties offer for free. Here the choice isn't about transfer times, always short, but about atmosphere: la Guitgia, the beach closest to the centre, among beach clubs and an evening stroll; the town itself, with the harbour and Via Roma, open even out of season; or Cala Croce, more secluded, for those seeking a quiet base near the sea.
La Guitgia
Airport area · About 2 km from the airport, 10-15 minutes by taxi; some properties in the area offer a free shuttle on request.
Best for: Travellers wanting the sea, beach clubs and the evening stroll just steps away, in the town's most touristy area.
Pros
- Beach, beach clubs and evening venues all within walking distance
- More choice of restaurants than the rest of the town

Cons
