Overnight Stay in Trapani

 

I can recommend a lovely hostel called the Macotta - (check for updates on prices on their site) in the old part of the city. Trapani is a lovely old city and great place to enjoy a lovely meal and soak in the Scicilian atmosphere. 

 

When you arrive at Trapani and get on the bus to town ask the driver to let you off for the Macotta hotel, he will show you where it is, it is sign posted from the main street on the sea front, where he will let you off from, one stop before the port which is the last stop. This is the same bus to return the next morning to airport so ask him to show you where the bus stop is on the other side of the road and the time the next morning. He will point, and is very used to being asked.

 

If you need help with your travel let me know, please be sure to check you have time to make the connecting flight.

 

I will collect you from the airport. Please travel together where possible if you know others coming from your area and are happy to synchronise your travel.
