Trapani
TRAPANI
Located at the heart of the Mediterranean Sea, Sicily marks the meeting point between Western and Eastern Mediterranean cultures. Thanks to its strategic position, Trapani—the fifth largest city in Sicily—has always been deeply connected to the Western Mediterranean, from the Punic and Arab worlds to Catalonia and Spain.
Nature lovers can explore the Egadi Islands, the Zingaro Nature Reserve, and the iconic Trapani and Paceco salt pans. With more time, the volcanic island of Pantelleria stands out as one of the most beautiful destinations in the Mediterranean.
