The main village of Favignana (pop. 3,500) lies in a deeply-indented bay on the north coast, dominated by the Castello Florio. The fine network of roads (50km/31mi) makes possible a wide range of outings, even using local public buses, so that the visitor can enjoy the charming landscape and vistas. A walk to the fort of Santa Caterina on the
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.
