ISOLE EGADI
 |
The Egadi Islands are more interesting from a naturalistic than a tourist point of view. Favignana, Levanzo and Marettimo are the three islands of the archipelago that seem some reflected mirrors, even if they conserve their particular aspects, both for their position and for their landscapes. Favignana, the bigger of the three islands, conserves some buildings of a certain artistic value as some little baroque churches and Palazzo Florio. |
MOZIA
|
In the far-northwest coast of Sicily, a big expanse of sea with four small islands, just a little out of water, catches the passenger sight. The Stagnone lagoon is a part of sea that extends from Punta D'Alga to Birgi-San Teodoro . In the middle of this lagoon you find the small island of San Pantaleo, the Phoenicians Motya and near the other two islands: Santa Maria and Scuola. The most interesting places in Motya are: the tophet, a sacred area which is mentioned in the Holy Bible, and the Cappiddazzo, where are the remains of a shrine. In Motya, you find also the Whitaker Museum, it conserves material that comes from ancient and recent digs.

When the night comes, the right place to rest is the Dammuso, a typical construction of Pantelleria.
