Linosa /Nr Lampadusa

[silver-fox]

We are thinking of overnighting in Linosa en route from Tunisia to Malta in June. As it is Italian territory can anyone advise if we need to visit Lampadusa first as a port of entry or can anchor overnight andf then press on?

We will probably we anchor overnight and not land.

Also I seem to remember being warned off Lampedusa as it was a popular landing place for illegal immigrants looking to enter the EU and life could get very complicated as a result....anyone have first hand experience?

Many thanks

Any info on whether Lampedusa actually is an Italian Port of Entry? Noonsite does not list it.

I am pretty confident it must be as buddies of mine have done the trip from Tunisia - which they would not have been able to do if it was not a port of entry.

That said, that is an opinion, not a fact, so if I end up in the local clink please send food parcels

Any update on this? Is it possible to stop in Linosa on the way from Malta to Lampedusa or not?
