In the evening we’ll get a chance to either moor near the town or in the port (depending on the draft of the boat) to enjoy an aperitif at sunset on the north side of the town overlooking Punta Troia, as well as a typical lobster soup at the local restaurant.

DAY 5: EGADI ISLANDS: ISLE OF FAVIGNANA

You will have plenty of time to relax while we sail towards San Vito Lo Capo to visit the village in the evening. San Vito lo Capo is notorious for a middle eastern influence on its culinary tradition, as once the Arabs colonized the area, so we highly suggest you try their famous seafood couscous or their mussel soup.
