Egadi Islands

Holiday Package Model

Many of our customers have relied on our experience for the trip in the middle of the Egadi. For this reason we have decided to write below an example of a complete one week holiday.

Day 1 Trapani

Boarding on the Piperita sailing boat is scheduled at 6.00 pm at the tourist port of Mooring Trapani.

After a quick briefing by the captain, arranging the luggage in the cabins and becoming familiar with the boat, we all sit down together for the first dinner on board Piperita.

Overnight in Trapani.

Day 2 Trapani - Favignana

(9 miles | 1 hour and a half)

After breakfast we leave the moorings in the direction of Favignana and, depending on the direction of the wind, we will go for a swim in Cala Rossa or Cala Azzurra, which is one of the most beautiful beaches in Italy.

Favignana is the main island of the archipelago of the Egadi Islands and has a varied and colorful, very indented coast that leaves room here and there for small bays and sandy beaches.

After lunch, the afternoon is dedicated to diving and bathing in the transparent waters, snorkeling, sunbathing and relaxation, and then continue the route towards the south-west coast of the island of Favignana to spend the night at Preveto, an islet in two hundred meters from the coasts of Favignana, where the silence and the colors of the sunset will leave you breathless.

Dinner in front of the coast and overnight in Favignana.

Day 3 Favignana - Marettimo

(12 miles | 2 hours)

After a good breakfast and a refreshing dip, we head to the most distant, wild and unspoiled island of the Egadi: Marettimo. Thanks to its remoteness, the impervious nature of the mountain and the low human impact on the environment, it preserves a very precious plant and fauna heritage, where rare and almost unique species of the Mediterranean have been able to live.

Mooring and lunch are under the promontory of Punta Troia, on the top of which we find the ruins of a castle overlooking the sea from the Spanish era dating back to the seventeenth century. and used first as a defense and later, until 1844, as a prison.

In the evening, after a light aperitif, we disembark for the free dinner which can be done in a typical restaurant in Marettimo to taste the local lobster soup.

Overnight in Marettimo.

Day 4 Marettimo - Levanzo

(13 miles | 2 hours)

Breakfast and set sail from Marettimo to get to Levanzo, Cala Tramontana immersed in a blue sea that has nothing to envy to the Caribbean!

Levanzo is the smallest and least inhabited island of the Egadi; it is intimate and primordial, it has preserved its habitat almost intact in which a rupestrian flora thrives with numerous endemic species. Its coasts are rocky, spectacular and protect, almost hidden, enchanting bays.

After lunch it is possible to visit the very famous Grotta del Genovese dating back to the Paleolithic-Neolithic period with its splendid graffiti and paintings on the walls.

At the end of the day and enjoyed an aperitif prepared by the chef on board, disembarkation and free dinner in the village of Levanzo.

Overnight in Levanzo.

Day 5 Levanzo - San Vito Lo Capo

(25 miles | 2 and a half hours)

The municipality of Santu Vitu, in Sicilian, is today a renowned seaside resort in Sicily, known for its 3 km long golden sandy beach.

In the stretch of coast that goes from San Vito lo Capo to Castellammare del Golfo, where birds of prey live and nest, extends the Zingaro Nature Reserve, one of the most famous in Italy.

In ancient times it was called Cetaria due to the abundance of tuna found in its waters, in fact, the largest and best known cove is Tonnarella dell’Uzzo, one of the most enchanting bays in Sicily and keeper of the homonymous tonnarella.

The Reserve is the guardian of small bays of white pebbles, of a sea that is tinged with green, blue and light blue, of cliffs, rocks and small stacks that protect their bays.

The Mediterranean scrub that plunges into the sea offers to the senses of visitors olive trees, almond trees, carob trees, dwarf palms, present throughout the area and undisputed symbol of the Zingaro Reserve, orchids, and ash trees, cork trees alternating with euphorbia and mastic.

Sicily. The wonder of the Egadi islands

Favignana is an island of the Egadi archipelago (Favignana, Levanzo, Marettimo) and is located about 9 miles west of Trapani. It is a coastal development of 33 km of jagged rocks and rich in cavities and caves. In ancient times the name of Favignana was Aegusa term which means butterfly given the shape of the island. The current name derives from Favonio which is the name of a warm west wind that determines its very mild climate. On the southern side it is possible to observe the splendid islets Galera and Galeotta.

Marettimo broke away from the mainland several millennia before the other two islands of the archipelago and this allowed the conservation of various endemic plants, such as the Egadi cabbage and the Boccone fennel. As for Favignana, the various caves, reachable only from the sea, are noteworthy, as well as some of the depths of the Egadi nature reserve.

Levanzo is a real unspoiled paradise, with high and steep coasts overlooking a crystalline sea of incredible colors. At the small port of Cala Dogana, which like the whole village, is located in a natural inlet south of the island, hydrofoils and ferries from Trapani dock several times a day. In Levanzo you can forget about the car: the island can be traveled on foot or by bicycle, crossing the main road that cuts it from north to south, or entering the countryside.

 

There are numerous and splendid coves but the greatest interest is addressed to the Grotta del Genovese, famous for the evidence of prehistoric art of the Paleolithic period – with graffiti of deer, bovidae and equidae – and those of the Neolithic period, with painted figures among the such as tuna, which has always been the protagonist of the economic activities of the Egadi Islands.

What do we start from?

Boarding and disembarkation are always from the port of Trapani (TP), reachable from any point of departure. Specify the place from where you will leave to reach the port of embarkation and check the departure date: through the service offered by our partner Wanderio.
