favignana Isola di Favignana is a heaven for those who love bicycle riding. You should better rent a bicycle in the capital of the island.

It is important to say that you should look for a bicycle in the morning in the high season. You will never find it after 10 or 11 a.m. This high demand for bicycle can be easily explained. Favignava is a wonderful place with kilometres of nice and empty roads which link all the main settlements, beaches and natural attractions of the island. There are routes for any tastes and all of them lie through picturesque places.
However, if you can’t or don’t want to ride a bicycle, you can explore the island on foot. Moreover, you can rent a motorbike or a car. The second one is available only for people who have an international driving licence, have a driving experience at least a year and have reached the age of 21. No matter what means of transport you have chosen, be sure to climb the peak of Mount Santa Caterina. Its height is only 314 meters and even a person in a bad shape can reach its peak. Moreover, you can enjoy stunning views from the top of the mount. Copyright www.orangesmile.com
