2. Boat Trip to Favignana and Levanzo
Alright, wanting a little breather from Trapani itself? Basically, consider sort of sailing off, too it’s almost to the Egadi Islands, so; actually, Favignana and Levanzo. In some respects these islands could be those postcards that sprang to life. Anyway the boat trip usually tends to be including that refreshing plunge in those oh-so-clear waters, plus maybe some time to walk around and just a bit enjoy, too it’s almost that slow tempo on islands, alright. Actually Favignana is famous because it use to be all about tuna fishing but, anyway the little rocky bays there just have that super unreal azure water, in other words its hard to get more unreal. In a way Levanzo tends to be more that, you know, laid-back, quieter scene. Is that a more relaxed option? Yes very likely.

3. Salt Pans and Marsala Wine Tour
The “Saline” (or salt pans) very near Trapani don’t just kind of show what making salt used to be about – it is also gorgeous sight, sort of making those unreal pink and white sort of reflective scapes, you know? Still, pair this with checking out that region’s famous Marsala wineries, and well, now, now you got it! I mean it really adds up to what could be kind of called a tasteful sort of sightseeing trip. Of course tours often do include tasting some top Marsala, and alright that comes with a nice talk all about just what it makes a totally yummy wine.

4. Erice Medieval Village Visit
So, perched pretty on top of Monte San Giuliano and overlooking Trapani is, you know, Erice, I mean, this village is not just ancient but it has that “old-timey Sicily” vibe nailed to a tee, right? I mean those cable car ride from Trapani to the top sort of adds that extra cool factor to everything. Seriously Erice could be a real knockout. First off very worth looking around at those cobblestone lanes as well as that Castello di Venere, you know it’s just a pretty spot. It’s a great spot to, too it’s almost sample some sweet treats and stuff because it’s known especially for those almond cookies. Well I feel like the vista is like you got one leg in the now, while seeing Trapani kind of off far away – which is something – that’s super great in its own way too.

5. Segesta Archaeological Site Day Trip
You know if history tends to be much your thing, that old spot Segesta kinda calls to you to almost visit, alright. In some respects just that Doric temple that looks mighty alright still sitting atop that hill and all, well, anyway kinda makes you ask heaps and heaps just how they hauled those blocks up. Really not only is the whole place interesting but getting around it might be actually really comfy, due to that shuttle bus they usually provide, very! Arguably Segesta isn’t huge, still, you might find yourself just wandering for that relaxed while through time, just sort of imaging it when that civilization here would still have been kind of on top of the world! It might be what you remember really well once you are heading away.
