The Egadi Islands: Levanzo, Marettimo and Favignana
The Archipelago Egadi includes the three main islands: Favignana, Levanzo and Marettimo and two uninhabited islands Maraone and Formica.
The sea that surrounds them is a Marine Natural Reserve.
Levanzo, with its 5 square kilometers, is the smallest and less inhabited island of the archipelago. A village made of a few inhabitants and surrounded by a high and rugged coastline that opens on a clear sea.
The appearance of the island is pretty wild, made of loops, caves and mountains. Its greatest pride is The Cave of the Genovese: on its walls were found important Palaeolithic graffiti representing men, animals, scenes of hunting and fishing.
Marettimo is the farthest of the three islands and also the most mountainous, at 37 km from the coast of Trapani. Formerly called Hiera today takes its name from two of its elements: the sea and the thymus, a metaphor of the mountain.
Favignana is the largest, most populous and perhaps the most famous of the three islands. Beautiful waters, small coves and indescribable colored seabeds. On top of the mountain at 304 meters you will see the Castle of St. Catherine, built in Norman times by King Roger.
