OVERVIEW

The Egadi Islands consist of three main inhabited islands and smaller rocky islets off western Sicily. Favignana is the largest and most accessible, with flat roads, old tuna processing buildings and numerous coves. Levanzo and Marettimo are smaller, steeper and more lightly developed. Inhabited islands and smaller cays create clear differences in access and atmosphere.

Cycling and boat trips are the best ways to reach swimming spots and sea caves. Fishing traditions remain visible in harbours and local food, while the absence of large resorts keeps the atmosphere relatively restrained. Ferry schedules shape movement between islands, so staying on more than one requires planning.
