The Egadi islands hoppers
With almost 54,000 hectares, the archipelago is the most extensive marine reserve in the Mediterranean. The three Egadi Islands, Favignana, Levanzo and Marettimo are charming and diverse. They point to a very long history and are still a hidden gem in the azure blue sea of western Sicily. Lonely hiking trails, deserted bays and breathtaking nature can still be found here. Interesting historical evidence from the Old and Neolithic cave paintings of the first Ionian War in 241 BC, where Catulls defeated the Carthaginian fleet off the islands, can be traced back to 1874.

In ancient times the island was called "Aegusa" (butterfly), which alludes to its shape. The name of the archipelago is derived from this. Another name used in antiquity was "Aponiana insula". The island got its current name from the "Favonio" (foehn). Dinner and overnight.
