The local's trick

In Levanzo there are no rentals like in Favignana: bring water and comfortable shoes, everything is done on foot or by sea.

What to bring

  • Lightweight hiking shoes
  • Abundant water
  • Cash (services are limited)
  • Cave booking confirmation

If it's windy or bad weather

  • With rough seas, the connection to Levanzo may be canceled: keep a plan B in Favignana.
  • If the cave is closed, dedicate the day to the northern coast of Favignana.
