The pleasure of discovering the Egadi Islands
Beaches and coves, islands to reach by sea, winding streets and historic landmarks, Sicilian food: a stay at Cala La Luna is your starting point for discovering Favignana and its archipelago.
Beaches and coves
The resort describes around 33 km of coastline to explore, with varied landscapes: some areas suit families, while others appeal to swimmers and snorkellers. Bue Marino, Cala Rossa and Cala Azzurra are among the best-known spots.
Other places mentioned include Lido Burrone, Cala Grande, Cala Faraglioni, Calamoni, Spiaggia Puntazza, Grotta Perciata, Cala Monaci, Marasolo, Cala del Pozzo and Scala Cavallo. Choose according to the wind, access and your group’s needs.
Levanzo and Marettimo
Favignana is part of the Egadi Islands Marine Protected Area. Nearby Levanzo and Marettimo make possible day-trip destinations; arrange your return crossing before setting off.
Levanzo, the smallest of the three main islands, is described by the resort as around 5 km² of natural scenery. Marettimo, further from the Trapani coast, offers a wilder landscape and a predominantly rocky shoreline.
Culture and places to visit
Wander through Favignana’s old town and visit the former Florio tuna factory: the resort describes around 32,000 m² of industrial heritage connected with tuna fishing.
The Fort of Santa Caterina, around 310 metres above sea level, overlooks the archipelago and western Sicily. The website also mentions the sunken gardens of Villa Margherita, with passages and caves. Check access, opening times and visit arrangements before planning your route.
The flavours of Favignana
Island cooking brings together Mediterranean traditions and influences from Trapani, Marsala and Erice. Specialities mentioned by the resort include fish couscous, frascatole, sea urchin spaghetti, pane cunzato, tuna meatballs and local handmade pasta.
Discover local flavours at the restaurant or ask about trips with fishermen. For something sweet, try cassatelle: crescent-shaped pastries filled with ricotta cream and chocolate flakes, dusted with icing sugar.
