Holiday home Trapani

In the past, Trapani was a thriving seaport and famous for its salt trade. Even today, salt is extracted from the Saline, the salt pans of Trapani, and it has become a niche product. If you try Trapani salt, you will realize that you have never known what real salt tastes like. The Salt Museum is particularly interesting to visit with children, where all the tools and extraction methods from the past are on display.

You shouldn't miss a walk along the Lungomare, the pride of the city. At the very tip of Torre Ligny, you can admire the meeting of the Tyrrhenian Sea with the Sea of ​​Sicily, and in front of it lies the spectacle of the Egadi Islands. Watching a sunset from here is an unforgettable experience.

But we cannot leave Trapani without having tasted the delicious and refined cuisine; among the typical dishes, we remember the couscous, the pasta with fresh tuna sauce, and the pasta with pesto alla Trapanese, and among the unmissable desserts, the cassatelle with ricotta.

Area

The coast of Trapani is dotted with beautiful beaches and natural coves. The coast between Trapani and San Vito lo Capo is perhaps one of the most beautiful natural spectacles. If you travel from Trapani to the 'Zingaro' nature reserve, do not forget to stop at Cala Beretta or Scopello with its beautiful Faraglioni.

Near Trapani, we can visit 'Le Saline del Paceco', the salt pans, we can descend to Marsala, or take a ferry to the Egadi Islands, the largest marine reserve in Europe, an archipelago consisting of three large islands: Favignana, Levanzo, and Marettimo.

Another unmissable attraction in the hinterland is a visit to the Temple of Segesta, beautiful remains of Greek rule. Also take a trip to Erice, a small old medieval town nestled between walls and castles. Don't forget a coat if you go to Erice, as it is situated on a hill 750 meters high and it can sometimes get cold there, even in summer!
