Marettimo is the wildest and most remote of the Aegadian Islands, a rugged limestone outcrop rising steeply from the sea some 40 km west of Trapani. As part of the Egadi Islands Marine Protected Area, it offers crystalline waters, dramatic hiking trails, and a blissfully car-free village where time seems to stand still.
