About this experience

Artisan Markets in Linosa is a weekly open-air market held in the main piazza of Linosa, the smallest inhabited island of the Pelagie archipelago in Sicily. Local makers and farmers sell handmade ceramics, woven baskets, and fresh produce such as capers and lentils grown on the island's volcanic soil. The market runs from 9:00 to 13:00 every Saturday from June to September, with stalls set along the seafront promenade.
