Maretimo is the westernmost island of the Aeolian Islands, part of the province of Trapani in Sicily. This volcanic island of about 12 square kilometers is known as "the last secret of the Mediterranean" for its unspoiled nature and crystal clear waters.
The highest point on the island, Montefalcone, is 686 meters above sea level and offers a spectacular view of the entire archipelago. The surrounding waters are protected by a marine reserve, rich in marine life and rare communities of red coral. The unique landscape of sea caves and cliffs makes it a paradise for divers.
Maretimo preserves the ruins of an ancient Roman villa and a 19th-century defensive fortress, and the island's traditional white houses contrast with the blue sea and sky. Ancient fishing traditions are maintained and freshly caught tuna and sea bass are specialties.
Ferries run to the island every summer from Trapani and Milazzo in Sicily. Due to strictly controlled development, there are only two small hotels on the island, which maintains a peaceful and escapist atmosphere for travelers seeking a pristine natural experience.
