Car Hire in Terrasini Downtown - Mini guide to Terrasini Downtown

Perched above the Gulf of Castellammare, the town of Terrasini has played host to ancient Greek, Phoenician, Roman and medieval vessels over the past 3000 years. Nowadays, Terrasini, located between Palermo and Trapani, is a centre for tourists drawn by its breathtaking location and its warm people.

Terrasini is popular with visitors for its splendid position overlooking the sea and its many caverns, bays and beaches. The town’s grid-like planning allows for easy exploration of its fortresses and linear stone houses. From the harbour, visitors can enjoy panoramic views of the Mediterranean as well as take in a meal at a café or traditional pizzeria.

The town centre’s Civic Museum features a very large collection of artefacts. It contains three sections. The Naturalistic features specimens of birds, from ravens to griffons. The archaeological section features antiquities from Punic, Roman, Arabic and medieval times. An ethno-anthropological section offers insight into Sicilian craftsmanship.

While Terrasini offers a range of water sports, such as scuba diving, and beaches, many visitors use the town as a base for more independent exploration of Sicily. Just 24 km from the town is the ancient port and capital of Palermo. The city showcases Sicily’s multi-cultural heritage and has a range of street markets which allow the visitor to practise their haggling skills.

Nearby Trapani is rich in heritage and mythology. Legend tells of the Roman god Saturn, who used a sickle to kill his father, Cronus. When this sickle fell to the sea, the city of Trapani was born. While primarily a fishing village, it is an important ferry port offering links to: Sardinia and Tunisia.
