rises to 278m. Much of the coastline is made up of dramatic rocky
cliffs, though there are a few lovely beaches. Everything is minimal:
there is one village (Cala Dogana), one road, two shops, two hotels
and two restaurants. Peace and quiet are ensured, and stressful city
life soon becomes a distant memory. Its main sight is the
aforementioned Grotta dei Genovesi, but apart from this there is
wonderfully little to do except walking, going on boat trips,

swimming, reading and eating.

Marettimo is the most isolated of the Egadi Islands, lying a full
15 miles off the coast of Trapani. It is wonderfully unspoilt both in
terms of its marine life and its rugged mountainous hinterland.
Dramatic limestone cliffs plummet towards the cobalt-blue sea,

endless panoramas abound, and mountain paths offer wonderful
walking.

Getting to the Egadi Islands is very easy. Just hop on one of
the frequent hydrofoils from Trapani or Marsala and in 15-20
minutes, you'll be there.
