The Mediterranean, a sea of ​​love The Mediterranean, a sea of ​​love
Strolling hand in hand through the towns of the west of Sicily, you’ll discover the history of the Mediterranean, layer by layer, in the walls of their palaces, churches and streets. A romantic holiday for two full of discoveries.

In the historic centre of Trapani, discover the streets of old Giudecca and the facade of Palazzo Ciambra-Giudecca 

Discover Salemi, where the ancient, the commemorative and the contemporary come together in its iconic Piazza Alicia

 

In Erice, follow the circuit of its Mura Elimo-Puniche (Elymian-Punic Walls) and the charming historic paths that wind their way through nature 

In Mazara del Vallo, lose yourself in the narrow streets of its ancient Medina, where you can feel the air of the North African shores of the Mediterranean.

The sickle-shaped city stretching out between two seas, among salt pans dotted with windmills, the Misteri of Good Friday and the harbour from which you set sail for the Egadi

Trapani

A strip of land squeezed between two seas, salt pans that turn to gold and pink at sunset, windmills that grind PGI salt, the longest Misteri procession in Italy and the harbour from which hydrofoils depart for Favignana. Trapani is the beguiling, salt-tinged capital of western Sicily.

The first capital of Italy for a single day, one of the most beautiful villages in Italy suspended over the hills of the Belice, between Garibaldi's castle, the ruins of the Mother Church an

Salemi

A Norman-Swabian castle where Garibaldi was the first to raise the Italian tricolour, making Salemi the first capital of Italy; a Mother Church reduced to an open-air stage set by the Belice earthquake and reinvented by Álvaro Siza; the Arab and Jewish alleys of the old town and the votive breads of San Giuseppe. Salemi is the Sicily of history and of bread.

The medieval town suspended at 751 metres, between the temple of Venus and the cobblestone alleys overlooking the Mediterranean

Erice

A Norman castle built on the ruins of the temple of Venus Erycina, a medieval town of stone alleys vanishing into the mist, the view from the Balio Gardens all the way to the Egadi Islands. Erice is western Sicily seen from 751 metres up, where every century has left a tower.

The town where Sicily turns into Africa, among the Arab alleys of the Kasbah, the Dancing Satyr brought back from the sea and the largest fishing fleet in Italy

Mazara del Vallo

A maze of Islamic-flavoured alleys where Arabic still echoes, a Greek bronze fished up from the deep that dances alone in a museum, a Baroque cathedral grown over a mosque, and four hundred trawlers bringing home the famous red prawn every day. Mazara del Vallo is the point where Europe touches Africa.
