FAVIGNANA
Day Trip from Palermo to Favignana -
We took the bus (Segesta company) at about 6.00 a.m. and we got the port of Trapani at about 8.00 a.m. At 8.30 a.m. we got the ferry for Favignana.
The island is mainly flat with just one small mountain, Monte Santa Caterina. Favignana has an incomparably beautiful land- and seascape.
Favignana is the largest of the islands in the Aegadian archipelago. Chief among the others are Levanzo, Marettimo, Formica and Maraone. Favignana derives its present name from the Favonio, as the prevailing spring winds of the region are known. But it was originally called Egusa, meaning “full of goats”. And now its economy is inextricably bound up with the tuna that abounds in the seas all around
