Porticciolo di Levanzo

Levanzo's tiny harbour is the gateway to the smallest of the Egadi Islands, sitting just 15 km off Trapani in one of Sicily's most protected marine areas — which is exactly why the water here is absurdly clear. The village is little more than a handful of whitewashed houses clustered around the quay, and since there are no cars on the island, it stays remarkably quiet. From here you can explore the Grotta del Genovese, a cave sheltering prehistoric rock paintings that most people never get to see.
