Known at the 'Port of Rome', Civitavecchia is situated around 75 kilometres north of the Italian capital on the west coast. Civitavecchia is one of the biggest ports in Italy and has become hugely popular with ferry and cruise passengers in recent years. The port features connections to all of the main international destinations in the Mediterranean Sea as well as the popular islands, near and far. Annually more than 2 million passengers pass through its doors. You’ll find nice promenades at walking distance from the ferry port as well as restaurants and hotels if you need a rest before taking the ferry.
Trapani is a city in the west coast of Sicily in Italy. It is the capital of the Province of Trapani. The ancient name of Trapani was Drépanon or Drepana, the Greek word for "sickle", because of the shape of its harbour which curves out into the Mediterranean Sea. The city was built to serve as port of the nearby city of Erice (Eryx), which overlooks it from Monte San Giuliano. Two ancient legends tell of mythical origins for the city. In the first legend, Trapani stemmed from the sickle fallen from the hands of the prosperity goddess Demetra while she was seeking for her daughter Persephone, who had been kidnapped by Hades. The second myth features Saturn, god of the sky, who eviscerated his father Chronos with a sickle which, falling into the sea, created the city. In ancient times Saturn was the god-protector of the Trapani. Today Saturn's statue stands in a piazza in the centre of the city.
