Favignana

Favignana, a captivating island in the Aegadian archipelago, beckons travelers seeking a Mediterranean paradise. Located west of the Sicilian coast between Trapani and Marsala, Favignana, like Marettimo, was once known as Hiera. Today, it’s a haven for tranquility and natural beauty.

Explore the island’s rugged coastline and crystal-clear waters on a boat trip to the caves around Marettimo. Immerse yourself in history with a visit to the Castello di Santa Caterina, offering panoramic views, or discover the fascinating exhibits at the Ex Stabilimento Florio, a former tuna processing plant turned cultural center. Take in stunning vistas from the Ligny Tower, a coastal watchtower.

Relax on beautiful beaches like Spiaggia Cala Rossa, a sandy haven with turquoise waters, or Cala Azzurra, another idyllic spot for sunbathing and swimming. After a day of exploration, stroll through the charming streets of Via Vittorio Emanuele, where you can shop for local crafts and savor delicious Sicilian cuisine. Enjoy fresh seafood delights at the popular restaurant Calabianca. As night falls, the harbor comes alive with cozy bars offering waterfront views at Porto Turistico Favignana. Check the calendar for traditional festivals or events happening during your visit to fully immerse yourself in the local culture.
