In recent years, Trapani has seen an ever-increasing growth in the luxury yachting industry, offering moorings in public piers and private marinas, bunker facilities, yacht yards and charming residences.
Due to its location, the port of Trapani has always been a strategic port in the Mediterranean Sea, a central point between the Suez Canal and the Strait of Gibraltar, along the East-West routes and between Northern Africa and Europe.
The main sights to see in Trapani include the historic center with its Arab style narrow cobbled streets which were originally surrounded by the city wall, the numerous churches, especially the Cathedral, the “Collegio dei Gesuiti”, the “Chiesa del Purgatorio” and the “Santuario della Madonna”, the fish market square where you can enjoy the daily spectacle of the sale of fish products within a colorful and picturesque context, the defensive bastion of “Torre Ligny”, the “Colombaia” castle and, last but not least, the salt pans.
The whole area of Trapani is an amazing mixture of history, architecture and gastronomic delights. The crystal-clear sea has sculpted a coastline of stunning variety and beauty. Exploring Trapani both by sea and land will reward you with an intense and unforgettable experience.
