Isola Gallinara
The first island we visited on the Italian coast was Gallinara. In the Ligurian Sea lies the islet with an area of 11 hectares and a maximum height of 87 meters. It is shaped like a turtle. The islet was owned by 9 Italian families, but in 2020 it was sold to Ukrainian aerospace magnate Oleksander Boguslayev who is a resident of Monaco. He bought the island for just over 10 million euros. It is a protected nature reserve and it is tolerated that people swim and anchor around the island. We did that too, it was very nice, the drone images show that!
