From the Sicilian town Trapani, the ferry takes you to the Egadi Islands, an archipelago west of Sicily, and the beautiful island Favignana.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
We hadn’t done any research at all before going to Favignana. A friend wrote on my Instagram post, from Trapani<\/a><\/strong>, where we were staying at the time: “Go to Favignana!”. So we looked it up on a map and saw some pictures. The next morning we went to the port in Trapani, close to the old town, and jumped on a ferry to Favignana.<\/p>\n The island is a beautiful escape into nature. Almost car-free, why you are encouraged to take a bike instead around, enjoying the peace and chilled atmosphere.<\/p>\n The hydrofoil ferry to and from Favignana sails every hour and takes 30 min. A return ticket cost about 24 euros a person, about 16 euros for children over 3. You can see timetables here https:\/\/eng.libertylines.it<\/a> and skip the queue at the port by booking your tickets online. I recommend booking tickets ahead in the summertime, especially if you are taking a ferry and bringing a car.<\/p>\n Arriving at Favignana port in the main town called Favignana, we were met by old colorful fisher boats, small talking and laughing between the fishermen. Some of the fishermen standing in the streets and selling their fresh catch from their truck.<\/p>\nGetting to Favignana<\/h2>\n
