Observation Deck·Scenic, Rugged, Natural, Adventurous
Scalo Cavallo is one of the most visually arresting locations on the island of Favignana. Once a functional stone excavation site, the area is now a fascinating attraction where visitors can explore a network of caves carved into the rock. The site is best known for its vibrant, crystal-clear blue waters, which contrast beautifully with the rugged limestone cliffs. Guests can walk through the archways to discover the old quarry site or follow paths that lead directly over the sea for panoramic views. While the terrain is rugged, a small local food stand is typically available at the entrance to provide refreshments and snacks, making it a convenient stop during a day of island exploration.
