Description
Begin your adventure by hopping on a comfortable bus in the center of Palermo. Head to Segesta, an ancient vestige of the Greek world in Sicily that influenced the life and customs of the entire Mediterranean. Spend 1.5 hours exploring this splendid archaeological site, home to one of the best-preserved temples of the Greek world and wal among it's columns.
Next, arrive in Erice and explore this picturesque medieval village with its cobblestone streets. Visit the Castle of Venus and the Real Duomo church.
Eat typical Sicilian dishes such as handmade arancini in characteristic restaurants or enjoy a local fish lunch in the many small restaurants. Taste 'Genovesi,' world-famous almond pastries originally made in convents, which you can still enjoy today at a famous nun's pastry shop.
Look out from one of Sicily's most beautiful vantage points and admire the city of Trapani and the Egadi Islands against the backdrop of the Mediterranean Sea.
Finally, head to the Trapani salt pans and take fantastic Instagram-worthy photos of the windmills and birds like flamingos. This romantic spot bears witness to the time when Europe's largest salt harvest took place.
At these three locations, you can enjoy the insights of an expert local guide, if you wish, for an additional fee of €5.00 per person. After a day filled with memories and unique sights, return to Palermo by bus to your starting point.
