Levanzo
Levanzo is the smallest and most tranquil of the Aegadian Islands, floating just a short ferry ride from Trapani. With no real roads, few cars, and a village that feels unchanged in decades, Levanzo is where time slows down.Photo: Wikimedia, Public domain.

Favignana is the largest of the Aegadian Islands, set 30 minutes by ferry from Trapani off the west coast of Sicily. Part of the vast Egadi Marine Reserve, it’s known for its crystal-clear waters and rich marine life — from silvery shoals of fish to the occasional sea turtle or dolphin.
