The scene
The old fort crowning the highest point of Favignana, in the Egadi Islands off Sicily, appears among the wind-swept island settings that stand in for the realm of Aeolus, keeper of the winds.
How to visit
Favignana is a short ferry from Trapani. The castle sits high above the town and is usually admired from below or on the hike up, since access can be restricted. Rent a bike to reach the island's coves and old tuna works.
- Cala Rossa's turquoise water is the island's most famous swim.
- The former Florio tuna cannery in town is now a museum.
