It is the main of the three islands. It has a small tourist and commercial port

that blends perfectly with the village with classic Mediterranean architecture: buildings with white walls and windows overlooking the blue and green. In the evening, when the lights come on, it offers a breathtaking landscape.
The island is mostly flat, so it lends itself to being visited on the saddle of a bicycle. The most beautiful coves: Cala Azzurra and its fine golden sand, Cala Rossa and its crystalline waters, the cliff of Grotta Perciata, the islet of Previto, Cala Rotonda, Bue Marino.

While traveling, you will certainly enjoy enchanting views of the sea, beaches and coves that blend with the rich vegetation of the mainland.
We cannot fail to mention Cala San Nicola, chosen as a landing place for the island already in the Punic era. In some of the numerous caves on the site it is still possible to see traces dating back to past eras, from the Punic to the early Christian era: niches, crosses engraved on the rock and now almost illegible writings. You could then go to the Bagno delle Donne, a nymphaeum built in the Roman age, or to the various necropolises of the Byzantine era. You will thus be able to take a journey through time and go back to the origins of the island.
As a last stop on Favignana, you cannot fail to visit the former Stabilimento Florio, one of the most important industries for tuna conservation. It is the largest museum of the sea in Europe. The visit allows you to learn about the history of the Florio family and the establishments where the equipment, anchors and boats were kept.
For trekking enthusiasts, however, we point out the possibility of climbing to the top of Mount Santa Caterina, to admire the splendid 360′ panorama of the Egadi.
