Solitary and wild, Marettimo has preserved a reserved and elitist profile. The furthest of the Egadi presents itself with high limestone walls covered by Mediterranean scrub that plunge into turquoise and crystalline sea waters. The white houses with blue windows of the small fishing village resemble the Greek landscape of the Cyclades.
The rocky coast offers no moorings and hides on the western side an infinite number of beautiful caves and spectacular cliffs overlooking the sea. This splendid part of Marettimo falls within the integral protection area of the Egadi Islands Marine Protected Area and can only be visited with authorized local boats.
