A splendid Relais where you can sleep and relax, halfway between Marsala and Trapani, during your holiday in one of the most magical places in Italy: the Saline di Trapani.
The light of the sunset and the landscape that suddenly turns pink. The saline of Trapani are just one of the many wonders of Sicily. But why just visit them? In the salt pans of Trapani it is possible to sleep and eat delicious fish immersed in nature and silence. You can relax and think only of your well-being, take long walks and discover one of the most magical places in Italy.
The salt pans of Trapani
La Via del Sale leads from Trapani to Marsala and has very ancient origins, dating back to the Phoenicians. The salt pans of Trapani are now part of one WWF reserve which extends up to the Paceco area, covering an area of 986 hectares. Many coastal stretches are private property used for the extraction of salt, as was also the case centuries ago. A tradition that does not die and encourages tourism.
Windmills
Throughout the area they are visible windmills which make it even more suggestive, thanks to their multiple variety. Furthermore, the climate and the peculiarity of the territory make the salt pans the home of many animals. Specifically, the great white heron, the rosy gull and, above all, the pink flamingo. To make the most of this place, you can take advantage of the WWF guided tours, or tour them independently, either on foot or by bike. The latter is an option that I recommend, especially during the spring months.
