Marettimo, mountainous and distant Thirty-seven kilometers off the Trapani coast, Marettimo is the most distant of the three islands that make up the Egadi archipelago. It is also the most mountainous. The history of the island is made, like that of the entire area, of dominations of different peoples who alternated with one another. Formerly called Hiera, today it takes its name from the two elements that make it up: the sea and thyme, a metaphor for the mountains. Don’t miss a tour of the island and a visit to the caves that open up on its walls that drop sheer to the sea. At the top of Punta Troia, the Castle that the Arabs used as a watchtower and was later turned into a prison is clearly visible. Inside it, William Pepe was also imprisoned.
