The project involves the 3 main islands of the OP (Sardinia, Corsica, Elba), their capitals, their ports and urban structures associated with them (port quarters and fortifications), as well as cultural and environmental resources of the hinterland. Ports of an Island (along with the airports) are the only ports access to the Island. By equipping the ports of reception centers and tourist centers equipped as multimedia services, will aim at providing users with a comprehensive and integrated view of existing environmental and cultural resources and tourist services available. Commitment to the project will be promoted to other port cities in order to create sub-networks of all major gateways to the islands large and small. On the other hand, the title of the project expressed the ambition to spread and make the results replicable throughout the Mediterranean.The idea of a great "Mediterranean islands" seems a good starting point to create a brand theme, a club dedicated product and new tourism products inspired by the history and peculiarities of Mediterranean islands.
