2Favignana

Favignana is the largest of the Egidian group of islands located off the coast of Trapani and Marsala in northwest Sicily. This archipelago consists of another two islands, Marettimo and Levanzo and remains Europes largest protected marine area. Favignana is the largest and most developed of the three and like the others, is rich in inlets, coves, and sea caves.  

The color of the water, in particular at the famous Cala Rossa, is a stunning turquoise. Many beaches are rocky but sandy shorelines can be found and, while it’s an area growing in tourism popularity, the coastline remains unspoiled and pristine. Favignana has become increasingly popular with younger elite Italians and has a growing summer nightlife scene.
