The Egadi Islands are popular destinations for swimming , diving , eating and general relaxation. The Islands are easily accessible by boat from Trapani port. The tour departs from Palermo city centre by bus. You will arrive at the port of Trapani where by ferry you will sail towards Favignana, the biggest of the three islands. For centuries the Egadi Islands have been a key Carthaginian stronghold, one of the Punic War’s most critical battles was fought in Cala Rossa – Red Cove , so named for the amount of blood split. After Favignana the tour will bring you to the island of Levanzo.
In Levanzo it will be possible to visit the prehistoric cave paintings at the Grotta del Genovese and spend some time swimming off the island’s pebbly beaches. Around the coast, deep gouges in the cliffs are reminders of tufa quarrying that occurred in the past. Many of these have now been reclaimed by the crystal-clear waters and are atmospheric swimming spots. Lunch with typical products will be served on board.
