A lively city<\/h3>\n
\n

In\u00a0Trapani<\/strong>, a location you can visit easily during your\u00a0MSC Mediterranean cruise, almost everything of interest is found in the old town, west of the Villa Margherita gardens.<\/p>\n

Churches and palaces have been renovated in recent years, and a plethora of bars and restaurants have opened along stylish pedestrianized streets \u2013 notably Corso Vittorio Emanuele, Via Torrearsa and Via Garibaldi. What is more, as you\u2019ll be able to discover on a\u00a0cruise excursion, the northern seafront, above the long beach, has also been considerably smartened up.
\nThe nearest and most exhilarating ride from Trapani is to\u00a0Erice<\/strong>, fifteen minutes away by cable car (funivia). It\u2019s a mountain town with creeping hillside alleys, stone buildings, silent charm and powerful associations. The original city was known to the ancient world as Eryx, and a magnificent temple, dedicated to Venus Erycina, Mediterranean goddess of fertility, once topped the mountain. Though the city was considered impregnable, Carthaginian, Roman, Arab and Norman invaders all forced entry over the centuries. But all respected the sanctity of Erice<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>

: the Romans rebuilt the temple and set two hundred soldiers to serve as guardians of the shrine, while the Arabs renamed the town Gebel-Hamed, or \u201cMohammed\u2019s mountain\u201d.
\nA shore excursion to the bleak lava wilderness around the summit of\u00a0Etna<\/strong>\u00a0will instead greet you with the most memorable landscapes\u00a0Italy\u00a0has to offer. The volcano\u2019s height is constantly shifting, depending on whether eruptions are constructive or destructive, and over the last century it has ranged from 3263m to the present estimate of 3340m. Whatever its exact height, Etna is a substantial mountain, one of the world\u2019s biggest active volcanoes, and on a clear day it can be seen from well over half of\u00a0Sicily<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
