Trapani Cruises

Marsala is a wine, dry or sweet, produced in the region surrounding the Italian city of Marsala in Sicily. It is commonly used to create rich caramelized sauces. There are two styles of Marsala to know for cooking and they are dry vs. sweet, but Marsala is so much more than a cooking wine. It can be made dry and fine enough for sipping, like Sherry or Madeira. Marsala wine has a unique taste for two reasons: the use of only Sicilian indigenous grapes and a complex winemaking process. Flavours in Marsala can include; apricot, vanilla, tamarind, brown sugar, tobacco.

Riserva Naturale Saline Di Trapani E Paceco is a nature reserve featuring Mediterranean plant life and wildlife, as well as a museum in an old salt mill. In the museum, you can learn about the history of extracting salt from the sea and the changing processes used over time. Keep an eye out for flamingos, egrets, herons, cattle, and many other animals. Founded in 1995, its area of 987 hectares consists of two zones (Zona A and Zona B). The halophyte flora which is adaptable to the salt marshes and the soils with high salt concentrations is represented by some of the rarest plants of Sicily, like the sea marigold.

The archaeological site of Segesta is one of the most valuable historic sites in Sicily.
