Trapani is the point where you can begin day trips by ferry to the islands of Egadi, Marettimo and Favignana , or make your way to the summit town of Erice and admire the view over the whole area below. During the Holy Week of Easter Trapani hosts a popular local procession through the town of ancient religious icons made by local craftsmen. The procession lasts all day and night with around 20 groups of these icons carried aloft finishing on Good Friday at the Church of the Purgatorio where they are housed. A must-try delicacy is Cuscus di Pesce, obviously a by-product of the many north African influences on the island. If you are a seafood fan of any dish you have come to the right island as Sicily is renowned for it's delicious seafood dishes.
