  Italy

• Sicily: 
Trapani

Dates: June 30th - August 29th 2008

Description: Come enjoy Italian culture and Sicilian lifestyle in a laid-back seaside town! Scuola Virgilio proposes summer courses in the Italian language and culture in Trapani, next to beautiful sites like Segesta, Erice, Egadi Island, Marsala. Cooking lessons will also be provided. Students must be at least 16. Low fares for 16-25 yo.

Highlights: We are a young and enthusiastic team (30 of age in the average) with a Sicilian background and a European education obtained in different places in Italy and Europe. Lessons are held in a beautiful 19th century neoclassical palace in car-free Via Garibaldi, in downtown Trapani.

The city of Trapani is the ideal size to walk or cycle through. Luxurious Egadi Islands are just 15 minutes away by boat from the Trapani harbour which is a 10 minute walk from our school. Otherwise closest sand beaches are a 5 minute walk (closest rock beach a 10 minute walk).

Lots of activities to choose from in the afternoon: excursions to archaeological sites, trekking, sailing, bird-watching... and cooking & eating of course! Different types of accommodation provided.
