Famed for its eponymous brand of wine, the coastal town of Marsala on the western tip of Sicily is a site of considerable archaeological importance. The community, located on a triangular point of land that cuts into the warm waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea, is built atop the ruins of a 1st Century Carthaginian city and is just a short distance from the ancient Phoenician town of Motya Island. Along the northern shoreline of Marsala is the Stagnone Lagoon, a uniquely multi-coloured stretch of salt-flats that can boast to be one of only two places in Europe to grow Sea Marigolds. Once a site of the thriving salt industry, the lagoon is now a nature reserve dedicated to protecting the area’s rare miscellany of flora. The ferry port in Masala is located on the southern edge of the town’s “triangle,” just minutes from both the Lilibeo Archaeological Park and the Marsala train station that offers routes into Trapani further north. Vincenzo Florio Airport is just a half hour drive up the SP21 road too. The terminal itself is a compact building with no passenger facilities and a car-park that holds a limited number of spaces. It serves as the departure point for the single route that currently leaves from the port; a Liberty Lines service that sails around the vast curve of the harbour before heading north to the island and town of Favignana less than an hour away.
The smallest of three main Aegadian Islands in the Mediterranean Sea, Levanzo is an Italian island off the west coast of Sicily. The ferry routes heading out Levanzo Port are to Italian coastal towns in Sicily or another of the Aegadian Islands; the crossings are all relatively short and generally take under an hour. Much like many of the coastal resorts belonging to Italy, the attractions on Levanzo are all part of the natural landscape. Diving and fishing are popular pastimes for both the permanent residents and tourists – the beautiful beaches and diving opportunities are part of the reason the island has become such a hotbed of tourism. For something a little more unique, there are tours to explore the mysterious caves that are dotted around the island. As well as the beautiful landscape, the main draw for Levanzo is the Capo Grosso Lighthouse, situated right at the northern tip of the island. It is best to witness the lighthouse whilst it’s still untouched; plans have been formulated to build a six-room resort next to it which could detract from its admirable aesthetics. The population of around 200 people indicates the small size of the island, meaning it is easy to get around the entirety of it by foot. The port is within walking distance of all the resorts and accommodation on Levanzo.
