Location

The Egadian Islands lie off the west coast of Sicily opposite Trapani. The largest island is Favignana, which is also where the only center of population is to be found; next in size are Lévanzo and Maréttimo. Between Trapani and Lévanzo lie the islets of Formica and Maraone (uninhabited). Favignana and Formica are fishing-ports and are important above all for tuna fishing (the "mattanza" in May). Tourism is developing thanks to the beautiful scenery, prehistoric caves and the opportunites for underwater sports.
