How to get around the island

Bikes, scooters, cars, and taxis: how to get around Favignana without wasting time, with real distances, indicative costs, and the island's rentals.

Real distances from the town

Favignana is about 9 km long and almost everything is within cycling distance. The eastern part is flat, while the western part is hilly and more demanding.

  • Cala Rossa and Bue Marino — about 3 km (10 minutes by scooter, 15-20 by bike)
  • Cala Azzurra and Lido Burrone — about 2-3 km, the easiest stretch
  • Punta Sottile and lighthouse — about 4 km to the west
  • Cala Rotonda and Cala Grande — about 5-6 km, last part uphill
  • Full tour of the island — about 20-25 km on asphalt

Which means of transport?

Pros and cons of each option, with indicative market prices.

Bikes and e-bikes

The best choice from May to September: park anywhere, no traffic issues, short distances. Approximately €8-12 per day for a classic bike, €25-35 for an e-bike. An e-bike is recommended for Monte Santa Caterina and the west side.

Scooters

Useful if you have limited time or want to comfortably reach the coves to the west. Approximately from €30-40 per day in low season. Helmet mandatory, driver's license required, watch out for narrow and unpaved roads near the coves.

Cars and microcars

Not recommended: parking in town is scarce and the roads to the coves are narrow. In high season, the disembarkation of non-resident tourist cars is prohibited. If needed, consider renting an electric microcar on the island.

Taxis and transfers

Taxis operate on call: there are no fixed ranks. Convenient for port-accommodation transfers with luggage, dinners outside town, and early morning ferries. Book in advance during high season.

Getting around without a vehicle

  • On foot: the center, the port, and the Tonnara Florio are all within a 10-minute walk; Cala Azzurra can be reached on foot in about 40 minutes.
  • Buses and shuttles: local transport connections are seasonal and not always active, check on site before relying on them.
  • By boat: some coves (Grotta Perciata, stretches of the west coast) can only be seen from the sea. Skippered boat trips are on the dedicated page.
