The National park of “Zingaro”
A string of pearls, seven kilometres long. A long line of peaked walls, harsh headlands, magnificent inlets, deep indentations, underwater grottoes and tunnels, low reefs, narrow valleys, fantastic pebbly sandy beaches that reflect in the uncontaminated sea of constantly changing colours; once blue now azure, turquoise, light blue, further out, a blue, the sky blue. It is always limpid, always calm. This is the sea of the Zingaro, a few kilometres of unique coastal landscape, splendid and prodigal with continual surprises as the visitor slowly advances along the principal pathway.
There are two entrances, one from San Vito Lo Capo and the other from Scopello, both around 45 minutes drive from Trapani. info > Tel. 092435108

Villas and apartments for rent in Scopello

The ancient seaside town of Scopello is believed to stand on the site of the ancient town of Cetaria, which got this name because of the exceptional abundance of tuna fish in its sea. The Arabs called that place “Iscubul Iakut”, and it was they who, after the destruction of Cetaria, restructured the tuna station. Now the complex is no longer working – the terrible activity of tuna fishing is no longer lucrative – but everything is still in working order, that is to say the stores, the farms, the boats and nets: they are silent witnesses to an ancient maritime civilisation which has now almost disappeared in the whole of Sicily.

Erice is a charming medieval town 571 metres above sea level. The little town is located on the top of Monte San Giuliano, from where you can enjoy a splendid view of Trapani. It was inhabited by the Elymi, but soon after the end of the fifth century b.C. it was a Carthaginian colony and only in 241 b.C., as a result of the Egadi battle, was conquered by the Romans. It is about 12km from Trapani (20 minutes’ drive) or you can get the cable car from Trapani which takes 7 minutes. It is very worthwhile seeing the 14th century Duomo, the main cathedral; the Norman Castle; the churches of San Martino and San Domenico the latter now home to the Ettore Majorana Scientific Centre. The Balio is a much beloved part of Erice for both locals and visitors alike as from there you can take in the stunning views of Trapani and her Egadi islands. No visitor can leave Erice without trying the world – famous cakes and biscuits. Although these can be bought in most bars and cake shops, the most internationally renowned are to found in the Grammatico bakery.
