Once famous for its white tuff shell quarries and tuna can factory--now turned into a museum--Isola di Favignana attracts divers and beachgoers with its jagged coastline rich in coves and caves. Only sparsely shrouded in typical Mediterranean shrubs and pine woods, this mainly barren butterfly-shaped island lies 7 km (4.3 mi) off the west coast of Sicily and is part of a nature reserve. A quick tour of Isola di Favignana can be done by hopping on a tourist train that chugs along the shoreline and down its main streets, lined with charming traditional houses with blue window shades popping out of whitewashed walls. Though many tourists are perfectly happy to spend their Isola di Favignana holiday lying on the beach, inland hills offer an abundance of nature trails.
