The island of Favignana belongs to the Sicilian province of Trapani and is the largest Aegean island. The island has a rich history. Thanks to various cave finds, it is certain that it has been inhabited since prehistoric times. It also gained fame due to the last battle of the First Punic War, which was fought off the island. Over the years, several prisons were built, some of which are still in use today. Visitors can reach Favignana by boat from Trapani. The small bays and crystal-clear sea water are particularly popular. Sports enthusiasts can explore the numerous caves while snorkeling or diving.
