The Journey
Bue Marino
Bue Marino, named for its striking blue waters, is a coastal gem of Favignana. The intense color is due to the unique interaction of sunlight and the rocky seabed. Its beauty extends beneath the surface with caves and coves, making it a popular location for diving and snorkeling. It is characterized by the presence of several caves dug by man for the extraction of blocks of tuff. Today these cavities offer the possibility of daring dives and unique swims in a truly evocative setting.
Tuff Quarries of Favignana
The ancient tuff quarries of Favignana offer a glimpse into the island's past, when the extraction of this volcanic stone was a major industry. These quarries, now abandoned, create a surreal landscape, a suggestive scenario overlooking the sea, offering a unique and raw beauty and acting as a reminder of the island's industrial heritage.
Cala Rossa
Cala Rossa, often regarded as one of Italy's most beautiful beaches, boasts an expanse of crystal-clear turquoise water perfect for diving and snorkeling. Its unique combination of smooth rocks, clear waters, and vibrant marine life creates an unforgettable Mediterranean experience. The contrast of the turquoise water with the rocky surroundings creates a breathtaking panorama, worth visiting and exploring.
Favignana Town and Florio Trap
The port of Favignana provides access to the island's charming village, where you can explore local culture and enjoy authentic Sicilian cuisine in one of the many restaurants.

Its suggestive pebble beach, reachable by swimming, offers a secluded spot to relax and enjoy the crystal-clear waters. A visit to this bay offers a beautiful natural landscape.
Cala Minnola, Levanzo
