LEVANZO AND MARETTIMO

Exploring the Aegadian Archipelago

Discovering Levanzo and Marettimo

Beyond Favignana, the archipelago includes Levanzo and Marettimo—two islands strikingly different from Favignana and each other, both truly deserving of a visit

Guests who choose Hotel Aegusa and Favignana as their holiday base can easily dedicate full days to the other two main islands. Levanzo and Marettimo are well-connected to Favignana, with both regular ferries and private, bespoke boat tours available. For those seeking the ultimate adventure, we can also help arrange a "combined holiday" across all three islands—a complete tour of the Aegadian Isles.

A holiday here is the perfect choice for lovers of the sea and pristine nature. From the rugged trekking trails of Marettimo to the secluded coves of Levanzo, these islands allow visitors to rediscover the scents and serenity often lost in busy city life.

Levanzo is the smallest island in the archipelago, defined by its intimate rocky inlets and hidden caves. It is world-renowned for the Grotta del Genovese, home to the most significant prehistoric cave paintings in Italy and among the most important globally.

Marettimo, the wildest and most untouched of the islands, boasts a unique natural heritage with over 515 plant species, including rare and endemic varieties of Mediterranean scrub. Its dramatic Dolomitic rock formations make it rugged and beautifully preserved. Often called the "Island of Caves," Marettimo features over 400 sea caves, both above and below the waterline, many of which can be explored by boat or through scuba diving
