What to see during a trip to Favignana: here are the 5 most beautiful places

It will be the destination of your next vacation. A destination that you have always wanted to visit. Are you wondering what to see during a holiday in Favignana? You should know that these are the most beautiful places.

The most beautiful places

These five places have been chosen, as well as for their beauty, because they will allow you to discover all the different aspects of the island of Favignana.

1. Cala Rossa. We start with one of the most beautiful beaches in Sicily. Cala Rossa is like a small rocky amphitheater that almost seems to lay gently on the shore of a sea in shades of blue and turquoise. You can hardly see an equally unforgettable panorama.
2. Grotta degli Innamorati. According to the most accredited (and even suggestive) explanation, the name of the cave derives from that of two rocks, lying on the bottom of the cave, flanked and almost identical. Visitable by taking part in a boat excursion, the backdrop of the cave is a real paradise for diving enthusiasts.
3. Castello di Santa Caterina. Also known as the fort of Santa Caterina, it is an unmissable stop on any itinerary to visit Favignana in one day. Built in the XI century, during the reign of Ruggero d’Altavilla, even if it is in a state of neglect it still preserves all its incomparable charm.
4. Tonnara della famiglia Florio. Today it is in disuse and is used as a museum. Visiting it will be like making an authentic journey back in time, rediscovering the ancient seafaring traditions of the island.
5. Cave di tufo. In these quarries, so typical and characteristic to be immediately recognizable, in addition to seeing one of the most emblematic places of Favignana, you can discover another very particular aspect of the island.
