Interesting museum centered around a former tuna fish processing factory. The whole island of Favignana was at one point owned by the Florio family, which owned the tuna processing facility and industry on the island. The Florio villa gives one a good idea of the wealth of the family at one time. All in all, the island, with its beautiful beaches and the ex Stabilimento Florio, is well worth a trip from Trapani via hydrofoil or regular ferry.

Interesting buildings to wander around. Most information in Italian, so you may need Google Lens, etc. to translate. Some interesting archaeological items, quite a lot of information on the historical tuna business.

2/5 as an impossible average between an atmospheric and captivating 5+ humanity heritage landmark against an embarassing total absence of even basic non Italian written nor speaking guidance.
EUR9 access fee..

Amazing place! We enjoyed a 2hrs guided tour of the old factory without no extra cost (ticket was 6€), it was really cool! The guide explained us not only how the tuna cans were produced but also gave us some interesting hints about the Florio family!
Definitely something worth the time while you’re in favignana

Great guided tour of the ex tuna factory in Favignana, a must do while you are in the island especially if you have read the Lions of Sicily by Stefania Auci (that I strongly recommend too!).

Really interesting museum where you can learn a lot about fishing tunas in the last 200 years. Many stories about the founder family, the methods and the factory itself. It’s really detailed with models, photos, set up scenes. And also our guide was really kind and she knew a lot and answered all our questions. She spoke good english too.

Lovely museum, kids enjoyed everything related to ancient history and sea battles. The tour was just the right length too, lots of interesting facts about tuna fishing.

This factory has a storied history. Sadly the guided tours are offered only in Italian.
Bue Marino Beach is a stunning location named after monk seals that used to inhabit the area. It boasts a rugged coastline with rock formations resulting from quarrying and deep blue waters perfect for sun and sea lovers. The lack of a traditional beach means visitors can relax on smooth rocks or man-made ledges alongside other bronzed Italian bodies. One of the unique aspects of Bue Marino Beach is its cave access to the crystal-clear water, which also provides ample shade, meaning umbrellas are not required.
Best ‘beach’ (it is just rocks) of Favignana. Relatively easy accessible by bike and a short walk. Beautiful caves and easy access into the amazing clear water for swimming / snorkeling / cliff diving.

The most electric blue water, almost nowhere to lie down near the water though. Some nice shady caves close by. Access to water is tricky but with a little clambering is possible. We did not have water shoes and it was just about okay to get in. Go early, it gets rammed.

Nature at its best 😍 cliffs full of shells, beautiful colours of the water and the view under the water is simply amazing! Lots of fish that you can see in the really clear water! I'm totally in love with this place!

clean and transparent sea, which is 3 m deep at the entrance. I recommend taking diving goggles, because you will find a lot of fish and water biotope.

Beautiful spot to admire and swim in the blue ocean. Lots of rocks and cliffs but there are still a good amount of places to sit and relax

The most peculiar access to the sea to favignana. You can enjoy the caves and the crystal clear water. One of the only place where you will not need an umbrella because the caves or rocks are creating enough shadow.

Very nice view and place but no access to the beach and usually wavy for a swim. Furthermore the trash found in the caves is smelly and ruining the view.

Absolutely stunning place, the water looks incredible. We couldn’t access the water for a swim though since it was crowded and difficult to find a spot. But it was still nice to enjoy the view for a moment

Very instagram-worthy but sooo much people in July. Be prepared to climb some rocks if you want a swim.
