Description
Discover Erice, Marsala & the Salt Route: A Journey for the Senses
Escape the vibrant energy of Palermo and surrender to the timeless beauty of western Sicily on this small-group day tour. Travel in comfort aboard a premium minivan, accompanied by an expert driver and tour leader who will bring each stop to life with stories, legends, and local insight.
Your first destination is Erice, a medieval hilltop town where time seems to stand still. Stroll through its winding cobblestone alleys, framed by stone archways and flowered balconies. Feel the breeze that carries the scent of the sea and almond pastries from the local bakeries. From the ancient walls, gaze out over the Egadi Islands and the shimmering city of Trapani below — a view that feels like a painting.
Continue along Sicily’s western coast toward Marsala, a land where golden vineyards meet the deep blue of the Mediterranean. Here, at a local winery or traditional farmhouse, indulge in an authentic Sicilian lunch featuring regional dishes paired with local wines. Feel the warmth of the sun, the aroma of freshly pressed olive oil, and the rich sweetness of Marsala wine on your palate — a true feast for the senses.
The journey concludes along the Marsala Salt Route, a unique landscape where nature and tradition intertwine. Admire the centuries-old windmills and glittering salt pans, where the reflection of the sky dances across the water. Step outside the vehicle and feel the salty air on your skin, listen to the wind moving through the sails, and breathe in the essence of this timeless place.
After a day filled with beauty, flavor, and discovery, relax on your drive back to Palermo — carrying with you the colors, scents, and memories of Sicily’s western soul.
