Marettimo
The most remote and wildest mountain island of the Egadi archipelago, with boat trips through sea caves and hikes with views over the sea.
Marettimo is the westernmost and highest island of the Egadi archipelago. Its limestone cliffs are steep and its vegetation lush, and it has only one fishing village and no roads for cars. The classic way to see it is to take a small boat with local fishermen around the island, exploring dozens of sea caves such as the Camel Cave and the Heart Cave, and swimming in clear bays. You can also hike along trails to Punta Trapani Castle at the north end of the island or to Roman-era ruins. A hydrofoil from Trapani takes about 1 to 1.5 hours. Day trips are possible in peak season, but staying one night is recommended.
