Levanzo
It is the smallest of the three main islands that make up the Egadi archipelago. It is only 3 miles from Favignana. The small hovels clustered in the village of the same name represent a fantastic panorama. What gives the area an aura of absolute uniqueness more than anything else is the presence of a vast amount of limestone caves, hidden among the inlets of the rugged coastline, making this island a perfect destination for diving enthusiasts. The harbor is located in Cala Dogana, and consists of an 80-m elbow pier with a small quay adjacent; in front of the latter, on the east side of the cove, is a masonry groin used by hydrofoils and scheduled ferries. It is dangerous to enter the harbor in strong libeccio and sirocco winds.

Marettimo
Heading west you will reach Marettimo, which is a couple of hours' sail from the other islands and is considered the wildest. Here you can admire breathtaking landscapes. It must be said that Marettimo is particularly exposed to the winds and that sailing in these waters should be approached with great consideration for weather conditions and weather forecasts. Marettimo, enchanting in its architectural homogeneity is made up of white cube-shaped houses with colorful windows clustered around the small port. The island has no passable roads although it is worth a picturesque walk to Monte Falcone. The ancient peoples of this restricted area of the Mediterranean (Phoenicians, Elymians, Sicans) attributed to it the character of sacredness that can still be enjoyed today. According to the Trapanese theory of the Odyssey (originated by Butler). What characterizes it are its caves: do not miss the Grotta del Tuono, that of the "Pipa" and "Punta Mugnone" after which you reach the view of the western coast, among dolomite rocks, extraordinary seabeds and even caves: that of the “Perciata” and the “Presepe” with the imaginative shapes that the stalactites recreate, and that of the “Bombarda”, are the caves that accompany us up to “Punta Libeccio” with its lighthouse. Right below the lighthouse, there is Cala Nera, perhaps the most beautiful beach on the island. Another beautiful beach is the enchanting Cala Bianca with its basin Punta Troia is the rock on which the picturesque castle stands, built by the Spanish in the 17th century, an ancient lookout point over the sea to protect the island

The old port provides an excellent refuge from the winds and seas of the second and third quadrants for small boats. It has approximately 20 berths available, 10 of which are for transit. You must pay attention to the presence of shallows and emerging rocks when entering the port basin on the starboard side: between Punta Mugnone and Cala Bianca there are shallows with a minimum depth of 3 m.
