Favignana, Sicily, September 19–26

Special Offer for the Week of September 19–26

The largest island in the Egadi Archipelago awaits you for a week of relaxation, fun, and nature.

Favignana is undoubtedly the ideal place to start a vacation in the Egadi Islands, since the island—in addition to being the largest in the archipelago—is also the best-connected by public transportation (remember to book the Trapani-Favignana ferry) and serves as a perfect starting point for visiting Levanzo and Marettimo as well. You can explore the island by car or boat, but the best way to do so is definitely to rent a scooter or a bike—preferably an electric one—so you can easily reach all the coves and inlets, even the most secluded ones. There are also numerous excursions to enjoy on Favignana: from hiking up Mount Santa Caterina with its panoramic view from the castle, to visiting the underground gardens, or taking a boat tour of the island that includes a visit to the sea caves.

The town center consists of two main squares connected by a street lined with bars and restaurants. From there, you’ll reach the marina, which is perfect for an after-dinner stroll or a walk at sunset—perhaps while enjoying an ice cream, a brioche with granita, or one of the many sweet treats you can discover during your stay on the nearby beach.

The town of Favignana undoubtedly transports visitors to a relaxed and peaceful setting, ideal for a beach vacation far from the hustle and bustle of city life. The dishes featuring tuna and local products—passed down through generations—are particularly delicious. Of course, what Favignana truly excels at is its sea—still pristine and shimmering with splendid hues—featuring idyllic corners of secluded beaches with fine, golden sand that often takes on a pink hue thanks to the coral carried in by the currents.
