It rises from the crystal-clear waters of the Mediterranean like a butterfly with its wings spread – a shape that has earned it the nickname "Butterfly of the Sea." Located just a few kilometers off the western coast of Sicily, this island is a paradise destination for those seeking an authentic beach holiday, away from mass tourism.
The true treasure of Favignana lies along its rugged coastline, where coves of incomparable beauty alternate with white tuff cliffs plunging into waters in a thousand shades of blue. Cala Rossa, with its turquoise sea, is perhaps the most famous, but the island is home to gems such as Cala Azzurra, Bue Marino, Preveto, and many other inlets that only the locals truly know.
If there is a privileged way to experience the essence of Favignana, it is undoubtedly through a boat excursion. Sailing along the island's coasts means discovering coves accessible only by sea, admiring the grandeur of the ancient tuff quarries from a unique perspective, and immersing yourself in crystal-clear waters far from the crowds.
