Detailed Itinerary by days
Day 1Palermo - San Vito Lo Capo
From Palermo's legendary harbor, where Arab-Norman domes sparkle gold in the sunrise, cast off Sail west down the rocky shoulder of Sicily, past the ochre cliffs of Zingaro falling into cerulean. Anchor in San Vito's crescent harbor; white sand lapped by water so pure you will count pebbles ten meters away. Join residents in a coastal trattoria for couscous alla trapanese, a fiery whisper of North Africa on your tongue, as the sun sets behind Monte Monaco.
Day 2San Vito - Favignana
Let the morning scirocco to bring you to the butterfly-shaped queen of the Egadi, Favignana. Trekking past deserted tonnara factories to Bue Marino's secret beach, explore Cala Rossa's blood-hued bay where ancient Romans gathered tuna. Claim a plastic chair at Trattoria del Marinaio evening; their pesto-tossed busiate pasta tastes like summer distilled.
Day 3Favignana - Marettimo
Go to Marettimo, the wildest Egadi sibling. Moor at Cala Bianca, where water bluer is framed by limestone cliffs less than those of a kingfisher. hike donkey paths to a Norman castle from the 12th century, then swim the submarine cathedral built by Grotta del Cammello. Eat at Da Enzo; stories of smuggling caverns surround Nonna's pesce alla stemperata, sweet-and- sour fish.
Day 4Marettimo - Levanzo
Glide east to Levanzo, the nicest of the three smaller towns. Kayak to the Grotta del Genovese, its Neolithic dancers and Ice Age deer engraved walls. Swim ashore in Cala Fredda, a pebble beach where lapping waves just disturb stillness. At a waterfront shanty, feast on just-caught ricci (sea urchins), their brackish creaminess washed down with Nero d'Avola.
Day 5Levanzo - San Vito Lo Capo
Retrace your wake north, dolphins running the bow. Drop anchor under San Vito's limestone sentinel for a last swim; then, hike to the Santuario as dusk colors the bay red. At Bar Monte Monaco, where fisherman play cards beneath fairy light strings, toast with almond grains.
Day 6San Vito - Terrasini
Coast east to Terrasini, a quiet harbour with laundry flaps amid Baroque balconies. Search for blood oranges at the Mercato del Pesce then cruise under the cliffs of Pizzo Cane to discover Capo Rama's hidden sea caves. Dine at La Cambusa, their pasta con le sarde humming with wild fennel and raisins, from the edge.
Day 7Terrasini - Palermo
Surf Capo Gallo's nature reserve—dive one last time in the aquarium-clear waters of Isola delle Femmine. Go back to Palermo as the sun glues the mosaics of the Palatine Chapel. With a panino con panelle (chickpea fritter sandwich) in hand, wander Vucciria Market's anarchy now imprinted in your salt-crusted skin. Sicily's spirit.
