Holiday at the Egadi islands: which ones are worth visiting?
We start from Favignana, which is not only the island where we recommend staying but is also the best starting point. With its extremely well-serviced marina, it offers many connections with Sicily and is certainly one of the most beautiful islands in Italy. Here it is not only recommended as a starting point but, having only a few days, it can also be the fixed point of your holiday. What not to miss? Certainly the Tonnara del Florio, which despite no longer being as active as it once was, remains a point of reference for the area and obviously also the Archaeological Museum.
Those who have more time and are able to explore the surrounding area should also visit Levanzo and Marettimo. Levanzo is a small pearl of the Mediterranean and is also the smallest of the Egadi but here you can find dream beaches, coves that make your heart beat and the famous Genovese Cave. Marettimo, on the other hand, is the perfect island for those who love trekking and outdoor walks; the routes of various difficulties allow you to have a suggestive view of the archipelago.
What to see during a holiday in the Egadi Islands
What to see during a holiday in the Egadi Islands? Let’s start from one of the most beautiful beaches, it is Cala Rossa and is located in Favignana. Difficult to reach on foot but extremely easy to reach by boat, it is nestled inside tuff quarries and here the sea is an unimaginable turquoise.
On the island of Levanzo, however, the town of the same name is unmissable. Nestled around an extremely turquoise sea, it has the typical structure of a fishing village and seems to have stopped back in time.
Palazzo Florio is an authentic gem in Favignana; built in 1876 today it boasts a neo-Gothic style thanks to the imprint of the architect Damiani Almeyeda. If the exterior boasts a noegothic style, the interior has rather flashy Art Nouveau touches. Last but not least, we recommend walking in the centre of Favignana discovering the shops and restaurants where you can stop for dinner but also where you can reach the Matrice church decorated in baroque style.
