Piperita holiday package

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.

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.

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 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.
