Discovering Marettimo, the most untamed of the Egadi Islands

The Egadi Islands are a group of three small islands to the east of Sicily: Favignana, Levanzo, and Marettimo. They are each accessible by ferry from Marsala or Trapani. Favignana and Levanzo, being the closest to the coast, are also the most touristy. For a more genuine escape, we chose the island of Marettimo, the wildest of the Egadi Islands, with only 684 inhabitants.
