Description

Begin your day with a departure from Piazza Fonderia in Palermo, heading to the hidden gem of Baia di Torre Normanna. Relax on the beach with complimentary umbrellas and chairs, or explore the ancient 16th-century Norman tower and fishermen’s tufa caves. Snorkeling gear is available on request for those who want to dive into the clear waters. After about 3 hours, make a stop at Sant’Elia, a historic fishing village. Take a dip in the natural pool, snorkel at Punta Sant’Elia, and savor the local “pane cunzato.” In the afternoon, visit the Salaparuta Cellars for a guided tour and tasting. Watch the trailer “La teoria dei contrasti,” explore the cellars, and enjoy a tasting of 5 wines paired with local delicacies. If the wine tour is unavailable, visit the Archaeological Park of Solanto, an ancient Hellenistic city dating back to 220 BC. Discover houses with mosaics and paintings, a Hellenistic theater, a gymnasium, an agora, an ancient water system, and a thermal plant. See artifacts like ceramics, coins, and statues. The park visit lasts about 2 hours, with a guide available on request for private groups. Return to Palermo by 5:00 PM.
