mountain of the same name affords a view across the archipelago and over to the Sicilian coast with the mountain of Erice. Of interest are the boat trips round the island with its many grottos and the opportunity for sub-aqua sport in the waters, which are rich in fish though not entirely without danger. Lévanzo Lévanzo (5.8sq.km/2.2sq. mi; pop. 300), the Phorantia of the ancients and the smallest island in the archipelago, lies 12km/7mi from Trapani and 4km/2.5mi from Favignana. The highest point is the Pizzo di Monaco (278m/912ft). The coastline is very rugged. Cereals and vines are cultivated on the island and there is also pastural farming. The area around Capo Minoia has been forested with pines.
