Today we will reach the highest elevation of the Egadi Islands, Mount Falcone (686 m) from which you can enjoy a unique view of the Sicilian coastline and the nearby islands of Levanzo and Favignana. Following a "dolomitic" path we will reach the crystal clear waters of Punta Troia where it will be possible to bathe and cool down after the first part of today's hike.

Punta Libeccio

About 6.30 ore

Vertical descent: 742 m

Distance: 16 km

Today's route will be ring-shaped and more challenging than yesterday's but it will give great satisfaction: we will go over the north/south ridge to go down to Punta Libeccio where there are some wonderful inlets. The cliffs overlooking the sea and the crystal clear waters make it one of the most beautiful places on the island. This is surely the most important excursion of the whole trekking, really wonderful from the naturalistic and historical-cultural point of view (in fact we will find Roman houses and Byzantine evidences). Dinner will be free and overnight follow.
