Cala Tramontana - Levanzo: where the sun meets the sea
The perfect cove for those seeking silence and endless horizons
Cala Tramontana is located along the northwest coast of Levanzo and is one of the most fascinating and scenic places on the island. Wild, quiet and free of settlements, it is the ideal destination for those seeking absolute relaxation and spectacular sunsets over the sea.
Far from the beaten path, Cala Tramontana offers an unspoiled landscape of white rocks, turquoise sea and Mediterranean scents. It is a perfect place to stretch out in the sun, take a rejuvenating swim and admire the sky that turns golden as the sun goes down.
How to get to Cala Tramontana
The best way to reach Cala Tramontana is by sea, participating in aexcursion by boat or dinghy around Levanzo. Many tours include a stop at this very cove to swim in peace and enjoy the scenery.
For the more adventurous, it is also possible to get there on foot via the island’s inland trails, but this is a long and challenging route, recommended only for experienced and well-equipped hikers.
Clear sea and endless horizons
The seabed is rocky, with clear waters reflecting the hues of the sky. Cala Tramontana is less suitable for snorkeling than Cala Fredda, but is ideal for those who like to swim in deep water and enjoy the quiet.
The real magic comes in the late afternoon: with the sun going down over the open sea and the cliffs turning red, Cala Tramontana offers some of the most beautiful sunsets in the Egadi Islands. An experience to be enjoyed in silence, perhaps while sipping something aboard a boat.
