The islands of Levanzo , Favignana and Marettimo make a pleasant day trip from Trapani. For centuries the lucrative tuna industry fuelled the islands' economy, but overfishing of the surrounding waters means that the Egadi survive primarily on income from tourists who come to cycle, walk, dive or simply enjoy the relaxed pace of life. Siremar and Ustica Lines both run year-round hydrofoil service to the islands. The best range of meals and accommodation can be found on Favignana.
The islands' single greatest tourist attraction is Levanzo's Grotta del Genovese , a cave decorated with Mesolithic and Neolithic artwork, including a famous image of a prehistoric tuna. Marettimo offers off-the-beaten-track seclusion and excellent walking trails.
