Bilocale in Via Mons. Giovanni Cipolla

Favignana is the largest island of the Aegadian Islands (Isole Egadi) off the west coast of Sicily in the Mediterranean Sea. The settlement sits on an island with a rocky, calcareous coastline and numerous small bays and beaches, including Cala Rossa, Cala Azzurra and Lido Burrone. The surrounding waters are part of the Area Marina Protetta Isole Egadi (Egadi Islands Marine Protected Area). The island has a long history of tuna fishing and associated tonnara buildings and interpretation (tonnara/tonnara museum presence). Nearby islands in the archipelago include Levanzo; passenger boat links connect Favignana with the Sicilian mainland. Trapani is the nearest town of size and provides the main ferry/hydrofoil connections, regional rail and road links and access to Trapani–Birgi airport (Vincenzo Florio). There are no ski lifts; the terrain on the island is coastal and low-elevation. The local economy is based on fisheries, tourism and small-scale agriculture.
