A unique holiday in the Mediterranean seas among the Egadi islands . We will let you discover this wonderful archipelago, made up of the islands of Favignana, Levanzo and Marettimo, which is home to the largest marine protected area in Europe.
On Monday between 3pm and 4pm we will welcome you on board Egaia. After a short briefing we will cast off the moorings and leave the port we will open the sails to sail towards the island of Favignana, about 8 miles away from the port of Marsala. If the current weather conditions allow it, we will take shelter in the most famous bay of Favignana, Cala Rossa, whose turquoise waters will attract even the less inclined for an unforgettable dive.
Tuesday: after breakfast we will enjoy this splendid bay for a couple more hours, before it becomes very busy and then sail towards the island of Marettimo, the westernmost of the islands, as well as the most fascinating.
They call it the Dolomites on the sea, due to the presence of dolomite rock; it rises up to a height of 686 meters and given its geological conformation it is characterized by a large quantity of caves, each different from the other. We will drop anchor at Cala Fennel Marina, for those who love snorkeling this island will be an incredible experience!
In the afternoon we will go to discover other bays, such as the one under the Punta Troia castle. Here it will be possible to take a short walk to get to the top of the castle and enjoy a spectacular view.
Wednesday: for those who wish, it is possible to take part in a trip lasting about two hours, with the islanders' boats, which will take you to discover the caves of Marettimo. These caves, each different from the other, are located on the west side of the island, corresponding to the integral reserve area of the protected marine area of the Egadi Islands, where no boats, except those of locals, can navigate. It is an extra, optional trip which we highly recommend if conditions permit! In the late afternoon we will enter the small port of Marettimo where we will be moored until the next day. Here you can decide whether to follow some paths or simply stroll along the streets of the characteristic village, choosing the most attractive restaurant for dinner!
Thursday: after breakfast we will cast off the moorings, possibly spend another half day in the waters of Marettimo, waiting for the wind that will take us back to Favignana, to discover its many bays; we will try to sail towards the southern coast to introduce you to the Previto bay, cala azzurra and Punta Lunga, or we will sail along the north coast to anchor at Cala O' Pozzo to let you enjoy yet another shade of blue of the Egadi sea
Friday: during the day we will complete the tour of Favignana and then prepare to go ashore in the late afternoon or evening
Saturday: we will head for the island of Levanzo, very close to Favignana, we will stop in the bays of Cala Minnola and Cala Tramontana to then spend the night in Cala Fredda, the bay close to the village of Levanzo.
Those who feel like it in the late afternoon can, with a short walk, reach the village for an aperitif or continue the path towards the stacks where they can admire the sun setting over Marettimo.
Sunday: early in the morning we will move towards another cove in Levanzo or Favignana, we will have lunch a little early and then set sail towards Marsala, where disembarkation is expected by 4pm.
