We will visit Cala Azzurra, a jewel of Favignana, famous for its crystal clear waters and white sand. This enchanting bay is the perfect place to dive into an aquatic paradise, snorkel among the shallows and admire the vivid colors of the Mediterranean. A unique experience, surrounded by the tranquility of an almost unspoilt nature.
It’s time for an aperitif break! After a morning of exploring and swimming in hidden coves, we take a moment to relax and enjoy the view. Prosecco and the timeless Aperol Spritz or Campari Spritz await us on board, accompanied by peanuts, chips and those spicy ‘cosini’ that give it an extra touch. For those who prefer something non-alcoholic, there is Coke, both regular and Zero, Orange, Peach or Lemon Tea perfect to refresh the day. A moment of pure relaxation, between fresh flavors and the sea breeze
The next stop on our trip is Bue Marino, one of the most fascinating coves of Favignana. This wonderful sea cave is famous for its deep blue waters and the magical atmosphere that you breathe between its rock walls. Bue Marino was once a refuge for sea monks, better known as monk seals, who give the cave its name.
We will continue our journey to Cala Rossa, one of the most iconic bays of Favignana, renowned for its extraordinary landscape of red rocks and turquoise waters. This spectacular cove offers breathtaking views, ideal for swimming and snorkeling enthusiasts who want to explore marine environments rich in life and history. A fascinating place, where nature and history blend under the warm Sicilian sun.
The history of Cala Rossa is steeped in memory and meaning, as it takes its name from the naval battles between the Romans and Carthaginians during the First Punic War, around 241 BC.C. The waters of this cove turned red because of the blood shed in those fights. In addition to its historical value, this area was once used for limestone mining, and the ancient tuff quarries still leave visible traces in the landscape, adding an extra layer of charm and mystery to the place.
We will continue our exploration reaching the Grotta degli Innamorati, an enchanted place that captures the romantic essence of the island of Favignana. This sea cave is famous for its crystal clear waters ranging from shades of blue to emerald green, creating a magical and surreal environment. The evocative name comes from the rock formations inside the cave which, seen from a certain perspective, look like two lovers embracing each other, a natural symbol that has inspired numerous local legends.

Cala Fredda is a fascinating place not only for its natural beauty but also for its historic freshwater springs, which have played a crucial role for the inhabitants and visitors of the island of Levanzo over the centuries. These natural springs, which flow directly near the beach, have made Cala Fredda a vital point for stopping and replenishing water for sailors and fishermen since ancient times
Cala Minnula is a jewel of Levanzo, rich in history and natural beauty. Surrounded by limestone cliffs and Mediterranean scrub, this cove with pebble beach and golden sand was a port for Phoenicians, Greeks and Romans, witnessing millennia of maritime history. Artifacts and underwater artifacts indicate that it was an important anchorage and exchange point, protected from storms and pirates.
In the Middle Ages, Cala Minnula remained strategic for seafarers and was the scene of naval battles. Today, it offers tranquility and a haven for those who want to immerse themselves in serenity away from the common tourist routes. The turquoise waters and lively seabed invite you to snorkel, while the beach is perfect for relaxing and absorbing the history and nature of this unique corner of Levanzo.
