Isola della Malva (Mallow Island) is a tiny islet located in Porto Cesareo in the province of Lecce; we are along a beautiful stretch of coast characterized by stretches of fine white beach and a crystal clear blue sea, and Isola della Malva rises a few meters from the nearby Torre Chianca. Isola della Malva owes its name to this plant that grows wild all along the islet and characterizes its beauty along with all the naturalistic aspect that this wonderful islet represents. The Island of the Mallow is easily accessible by swimming from the nearby coast and looks like a corner of paradise on earth; this tongue of land offers some sandy spots that alternate with stretches of fairly low and practicable cliffs in addition to the green of the typical Mediterranean scrub that grows wild almost everywhere along this islet, and the mallow precisely that determines its name. The whole surrounding environment represents at first glance the classic deserted island lost in an azure sea, with unspoiled nature, white sandy seabed and the ever-present herring gull as the undisputed owner of this picturesque island. If you ever have to drop in, well, the motor boats pass at the right distance from Malva Island, the sea for some stretches turns out to be shallow and the seabed lends itself wonderfully to those who love snorkeling so as to go in search of the exciting play of light reflected in this beautiful sea. The stretch of coastline in question is quite busy at the height of summer, we are talking about one of the most populated places in the Salento summer with a massive concentration of lidos, accommodation facilities, docks and boats of all kinds; so the beauty of this splendid example of an islet is fine but on the deserted and lonely aspect I would go a tad cautious. Wonders however of a Salento all to visit and photograph for a magical summer. Happy vacations.
