The most isolated of the Egadi
Islands, it is also the most beautiful and spectacular of the whole
archipelago. Ten kilometres of coasts descending from a number of
mountains almost 700m high separates this beautiful from an exceptional
sea. There is only one small town on the island made up of a few hundred
white houses, facing two small marinas, where tourist can find
accommodation in well-furnished apartments with kitchen use. There are no
hotel, camping or other large-scale tourism apart from some trattorie
(restaurants), bars and local shops. So you can rest assured of the
tranquillity. Due to these characteristics, the profoundly Mediterranean
roots of the island have been kept in tact even at the threshold of the
year 2000. Beyond the town, there is the mountain.
Splendid to be conquered on foot,
along the unpaved roads that on one side connect the centre with the
Lighthouse of Punta Libeccio, and on the other side with Punta Troia
Castle, a lookout tower that was renovated in the 17th century by the
Spaniards. People who aren't discouraged by the long walks should try the
ascent to Pizzo Falcone, the island's highest summit, from which you will
be treated to a breathtaking view of the entire archipelago. By boat you
can discover the characteristic caves. There are four hundred caves under
and above sea level that torment the calcareous rocks of Marettimo. The
sea is abundant with fish and is crystal clear.
