About this site

I Picchi lies off Caprera Island within the Maddalena Archipelago, a marine park area of granite islands off the northeastern coast of Sardinia. The site sits in the waters between Caprera and the surrounding smaller islets, part of a stretch of coastline known for its rocky underwater terrain and clear channels running between the archipelago's islands.
