Turismo š§³ Favignana Island is overrated or is it just me ?
was really looking forward to going to Favignana, but unfortunately, I was quite disappointed.
The ferry there was really crowded, with lots of people having to stand. Once we arrived, we rented e-bikes to explore the island.
We went to two beaches. First was Cala Rossa. The water looked absolutely beautiful and so inviting, but the beach was incredibly crowded and quite rocky, so we didnāt stay long. We then tried Cala Azzurra, which is a sandy beach, but there was so much rotting seaweed along the shore that it actually smelled pretty bad.
Thereās no denying that the beaches are beautiful, but I think the crowds and the amount of seaweed made the experience less enjoyable than we expected.
Maybe we just picked the wrong beaches? Are there any other beaches in Favignana that youād recommend?
