Trapani Holidays

T&Cs apply

A picturesque Sicilian port

Overlooked by craggy Mount Erice, the historic port of Trapani stretches out into the sea on a finger of land, with a 17th-century watchtower at its tip. Clinging to a long crescent of natural harbour, its primrose-yellow buildings offer spectacular views out to the misty blue of the Egadi Islands.

Trapani holidays are a beach-lover’s dream, with a host of pretty sweeps of sand to discover, including the brilliant blue Cala Azzurra (‘azure cove’) and the tropical-feel San Vito Lo Capo, within the Zingaro Nature Reserve.

For those who wish to explore further afield, ferries connect Trapani with both the Egadi Islands – home to gorgeous scenery and beaches that wouldn’t be out of place in the Caribbean – and the rocky, volcanic idyll of Pantelleria (between Sicily and Tunisia). If you’re looking for a trip that offers incredible natural beauty and the chance to access some of Sicily’s most glorious outlying islands, holidays to Trapani will be perfect for you.

    Unless you’re planning on exploring along the coast, you won’t require transport – the town is walkable, and you can take a cable car up to Erice.
    The superb seafood here fuses Sicilian and North African flavours, with dishes such as fish couscous. A must-try is the Trapani speciality ‘cabbucio’, a sandwich made from pizza dough.
    In July and August, Italian beaches are occupied by private clubs, where you can pay for sunloungers and shade – but there’s always a free area as well.
