Marsala in the province of Trapani, Sicily, and one of the hidden gems of the Mediterranean.
Though it is famous mainly for its fine wines, Marsala has plenty more to offer to yacht charterers, whatever their experience. Historically, the city of Marsala has undergone several invasions whose influences can still be felt in its baroque buildings and streets paved in gleaming marble. Also worth a visit is the archaeological site of Motya island which is an ancient Phoenician town. Boat rental from Marsala makes for an amazing experience, sailing through the clear blue waters, and easily getting to some of the surrounding islands like the Egadi islands, Ustica, Pantelleria, Lampedusa...
