Favignana
The main island of the Egadi Islands, shaped like a butterfly and mostly flat, making it ideal for cycling around to visit bays of clear blue water.
Favignana is the main island of the Egadi Islands. Shaped like a butterfly and mostly flat, it is perfect for renting a bicycle or e-bike at the harbour and riding around the island to visit bays such as Cala Rossa, Blue Bay and Monk Seal Bay. The island is dotted with square quarries left by centuries of tufa stone mining, which create a distinctive landscape. The harbour town has ice cream shops and tuna restaurants. From Trapani it is about 20 to 30 minutes by hydrofoil. Summer sailings run frequently, and tickets should be bought in advance. You can visit on a day trip or stay overnight on the island.
