5Favignana – The Butterfly Island of Sicily
Part of the Aegadian Islands off the western coast of Sicily, Favignana is shaped like a butterfly and loved for its crystal-clear waters. The island’s Cala Rossa and Cala Azzurra are among Italy’s most dazzling swimming spots, with shimmering turquoise hues that rival the Caribbean.
Once a tuna-fishing hub, Favignana retains a simple, laid-back charm. You can cycle across the island, visit the old tuna processing plant Tonnara Florio, and savor fresh seafood with a glass of Sicilian white wine as the sun sets over the harbor.
