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.
Bordering the Mediterranean Sea, Marettimo is the second largest of the Aegadian Islands, a group laying to the west of Sicily. All the ferry routes departing Marettimo Port head to either another Aegadian Island or a coastal resort in Sicily, with crossings ranging from one to three hours. Marettimo is an island designed for nature lovers; cleverly marked walking trails stretch all over the island, leading to rugged coastlines, alluring forests and untarnished nature. Even a reluctant hiker could spend days exploring the stunning landscape. The wildlife and birds of prey lurking around the forestry and shoreline are an added bonus, especially for those who enjoy a touch of birdwatching. There are also excursions available for anyone wishing to try their hand at snorkelling or diving, with qualified instructors offering their guidance. For a more organised itinerary, there are a couple of landmarks dotted around the island that are worth visiting. The fortress was built several hundred years ago; the remains of the building are an impressive sight considering their age, and after the fortress head to the lighthouse to top off the sightseeing. To say that Marettimo is a walking town would be an understatement. There is only one properly constructed road in the town and one mode of transport (an electric cart) so it is unlikely for a day to go by where the island isn’t flooded by walkers. The port is located on the east coast of the island and is within walking distance of most forms of accommodation.
