The beauty of Sicily: Favignana Aegades in greek means island of goats, and then the Egusa also took the name of Capraia, believing it to be inhabited by wild goats, as he relates in the book Homer's Odyssey.

 It also had the nickname Aponiana Insula, and was later called in Latin Favoniana and Faugnana or Favignana in Italian.


Favignana is the largest island of the Aegean archipelago, in the province of Trapani.
 It can be reached from Trapani with the ferry in 50 to 60 minutes, with the hydrofoil it takes about 30 minutes.
 The island allows it to be traversed by any means of transportation, including bicycles, scooters, cars, and these can be rented easily on site.
 The frequency and the number of trips from Favignana to the mainland vary depending on the season. However, at night, there is no public transport to reach or leave the island.



Favignana has an area of 16 square kilometres and 32 kilometres in circumference.
Many roads that make up a rather extensive and widespread network are unpaved, but driveways on foot, by bicycle, motorcycle or car.
The weather is moderate in Favignana, and often during the evening, there is a light breeze that cools the air.
At Favignana, you can find both sandy beaches, cliffs are easily accessible to bathers.
