Tarpani, Italy
On the northwest edge of Sicily at the foot of Mount Erice sits the lively and historic port of Trapani. With its crescent-shaped coastline and crystal-clear waters, Trapani is most definitely an island destination, while its cafés, cathedrals and castles make it also distinctly Italian. Marked by the iconic windmills of Sicily, giant salt fields span from Trapani down the coast to neighboring Marsala, and a museum tells the history of the region’s production of celebrated sea salts.
