Its climate type is typical for inland northern United States locations, but due to its southern position in the state, its summers and winters have higher temperatures than other, more northerly regions of the state.

# Aegadian Islands

The Aegadian Islands or Egadi Islands (Italian: Isole Egadi) are a group of three islands about 10 km west of Trapani and Marsala on the north-western coast of Sicily in Italy.

## Understand
### Islands

* Favignana – the main island, well known for its beaches
* Levanzo – small, quiet and pretty
* Marettimo – the furthest from Sicily, with fewer boats; attractive and good for walks

## Get in
### By boat

Siremar (ferry) and Liberty Lines (hydrofoil) run car ferries and much quicker hydrofoils from Trapani to all three islands – lots in summer, with fewer during spring, autumn and winter and on Sundays. Liberty Lines also run from Marsala to Favignana and Marettimo. The first ferries leave for Favignana between 07:00 and 07:30. The last ferry departs Favignana for Trapani at 20:00. The last ferry to Marsala leaves at 17:00. Tickets can be purchased from kiosks at the port. Arrive early for the evening return ferries, particularly on the weekends, as they sell out at times. Fares are between €15 and €20 each way.
Several operators run all-day excursions to the islands from Trapani. Typically they visit two islands, giving you time to spend on the islands, and stops in bays where you can swim off the boat, with lunch provided on board. Prices are around €39 for excursions to Favignana and Levanzo, and €45 to Favignana and Marettimo. The boats leave from the part of Trapani port between Via XXX Gennaio and Via Rallo and you can buy tickets there or at other outlets around the old town. To be sure of getting a ticket at busy times, you might want to book the day before.

## Get around

Levanzo and Marettimo are small enough to walk around. Most people hire bikes on Favignana to get to the beaches on the south coast.

## See

Scogliera di Cala Rossa, beautiful rocky beach on Favignana island renowned for the crystal clear water and the amazing view.
# Isola dei Gabbiani

Isola dei Gabbiani, also called L'Isuledda, is an island in Sardinia.

## Get in

Drive or take a bus from Palau, leaving 5 times a day during the summer (one hour, €1.50).

## Get around

The island is small and covered almost entirely by the campsite, so walking is the best way to get around.

## Facilities

The campsite offers electrical hookups, hot water, sinks to wash dishes and clothes, drinkable water (acqua potabile), showers, and a gated entry. It is quite large, with an estimated space for 100+ caravans and 200+ tents.

## Do

The island is attached to the mainland by a short land-bridge. Either sides of this land bridge are rental shops that have windsurfing boards for beginners and professionals, and kitesurfing boards. Rentals range from one hour to one week, and some even offer storage of your own board. Rental rates for a novice windsurfing board are around €20-25 for a two hour period; private lessons cost around €50 an hour. Kitesurfing rates started at €40 for a half-day.

## Buy

There is little to buy here, other than a few souvenir shops, and stores selling boards, sails, and parts for windsurfing and kitesurfing.

## Eat

The campsite has a self-service buffet and a restaurant, and the bars along the beach offer drinks and light meals. Also, there is a small supermarket on the campsite, so people with cooking facilities will be able to completely self-cater.

## Drink

Beer and cocktails are available in abundance (if a bit expensive) along the beach.

## Sleep

In the campsite located directly on peninsula you can stay in your own tent or caravan; elseway you could also rent fixed-caravans or small houses. At few (1-2) km from the peninsula there are plenty of residence and villages. They're not so easy to catch just by spotting them once you're on the place, the best way is to reserve or to have at least a list from the internet.

## Go next

Buses run to Palau, and from there you can catch a bus to other destinations, though hitch-hiking may be the fastest way to move around.
