Egadi islands Boat Tour, discover the archipelago on board a Catamaran 

DESCRIPTION

​

The Egadi islands catamaran tour from Trapani will lead you to discover the natural wonders of this archipelago, made up not only by stunning coves and beaches, but also of culture and ancient stories that runs from the Carthaginians up to the epic story of the Florio family. Protagonists of this catamaran excursion are the beautiful coves, where are scheduled several stops to bath and do snorkeling. Cala Rossa, Cala Cavallo, Cala Preveto are some of the most beautiful and fascinating, where you will delight your eyes with coastal landscapes of exceptional beauty. Stops are scheduled to the port of Favignana and Florio palace, where the first can of tuna in oil was born thanks to the intuition of Vincenzo Florio and where the ritual of "Mattanza", a bloody clash between man and sea, became legend. Navigation will lead us to discover the iconic places of the Egadi islands, but another experience awaits you, made up of aromas and flavors born right here, among these people, from this land, from these waters. A tasting of the excellence of typical local products will delight your mouth, with Pane Cunzato, Nocellara del Belíce olives, Pecorino cheese made by Cucchiara brothers and Cabbuci with olives, accompanied with the freshness of the "Grillo" "Duca di Salaparuta" wine, something that will give you a unique experience. Navigation continues to the Levanzo island, the smallest of the Egadi archipelago. Also here nature will be able to amaze you with the Buco sea cave and the solitary stack that rises on the sea to bear witness the ancestral struggle between the land and sea. We will dock at the port of Levanzo, for a visit to this small fishing island to enjoy a very fresh interlude with an almond, red mulberry or lemon Granita, in the wonderful setting of this Mediterranean island. There is still time for two more stops, Cala Fredda and Cala Minnola await us, for a last swim and a sunset drink toast before leaving for Trapani.
