Between the Egadi Islands, the Stagnone Lagoon, and Mozia

Five days of trekking, sea, and history

A journey to discover the Egadi Islands, an archipelago where Mediterranean nature meets crystal-clear waters, scenic trails, and the echoes of a thousand-year history.

Our first destination will be Marettimo, the wildest and most mountainous island of the archipelago, with its lush slopes and spectacular sea views. We will spend two nights here in homestays, a choice that allows us to soak up the island's authentic atmosphere and experience its most genuine side. Two days of trekking await us, exploring Punta Troia and Pizzo Falcone, without missing out on a boat trip along the coast to discover its enchanting coves.

We will continue to Levanzo, the smallest of the Egadi, where we will explore its landscapes and visit the Grotta del Genovese, an important archaeological site housing precious examples of prehistoric art.

The journey continues to Favignana, the largest and most famous island of the archipelago, which we will discover by bicycle, pedaling through its most characteristic corners. Here we will stay for two nights in an Hotel Resort, treating ourselves to a stay defined by comfort and relaxation. We will visit the historic Tonnara Florio, now a museum dedicated to the history of tuna fishing, and hike up to the Castello di Santa Caterina for an extraordinary view over the entire archipelago.

Our final stop brings us back to the mainland in Trapani, before heading to the Riserva Naturale delle Saline dello Stagnone and taking a boat to the island of Mozia, guardian of an important archaeological heritage.

Five days filled with trails, boat trips, bike rides, seaside villages, and historical sites, balancing the authenticity of a stay in Marettimo with the comfort of an Hotel Resort in Favignana. A trip to experience the Egadi and the Trapani area through diverse adventures, discovering some of the most fascinating wonders of Sicilia.
