If you are enchanted by marine ecology, be sure to spend some time in the Palm Islands
Reserve, comprising three uninhabited islands located approximately 5km northwest
of El Mina. This Mediterranean marine ecosystem provides a perfect
breeding ground for the endangered Green and Loggerhead Turtles, a nesting place
for over 300 species of migratory birds (including many rare and endangered species),
and a home for the endangered Mediterranean Monk Seal.

The islands are rich in wildflowers and medicinal plants, and their coastal waters
have an abundance of fish, sea sponges, and other sea life.
Visitors to the Palm Islands can hike along the many trails, swim and snorkel along
the pristine beaches, view the unique flora and fauna, and search for remains of
former human inhabitants (including pottery shards and the remains of a Crusader
church). The reserve is only accessible during the summer months and can be reached
by a boat trip from El Mina. |
