We will continue towards Trapani, the city of salt pans and with a fascinating baroque historic city center and we will head by cable car to the picturesque medieval city of Erice which is located in a magnificent position at 800 m. above sea level.

Unsurprisingly, due to its strategic position, Erice has been occupied by many civilizations.

From the Greeks and Carthaginians to the Romans and Arabs, and finally to the Normans.

We will enjoy some free time to explore the streets of the city and we will taste the famous sweets on one of the panoramic terraces at sunset.

DAY 2

Salt Pans of Trapani, Mozia & Marsala

Sicily is famous for its mix of artistic and architectural, but also landscape beauties!

Heading south we will cross the Salt Pans of Trapani Nature Reserve. A large part of the Reserve is made up of salt pans in which the extraction of salt is still practiced according to traditional techniques in use for centuries.

The site is characterized by the fact that it is one of the most important coastal wetlands in western Sicily, a resting place for numerous species of migratory birds.

Of great impact on the landscape is the presence of numerous windmills and the mounds of salt seen through the vegetation.

We head towards Marsala, the city of the famous wine, and we will reach the tourist port, where a short boat ride will take us to the island of Mozia, an interesting archaeological site in western Sicily, between Trapani and Marsala.

The site was once an important colony of Carthage: here we will find a small museum and numerous sites to visit.

We will admire the famous statue of the Mariotee of Motia, a marble sculpture dating back to the classical period of ancient Greece.

A walk at sunset will allow us to visit Marsala and taste the fine wine that has made this city famous in the world.

The park is located in the southwest of the island and includes Greek temples, ancient city walls, remains of residential and commercial buildings, rural paths and areas yet to be excavated.

Spectacular is its Acropolis overlooking the fantastic beach and the fishing village of Marinella.

And then the time comes to visit a place of extreme natural beauty, the Scala dei Turchi.

This white cliff is located in the sea, and the rock is composed of soft limestone and dense white marl.

Nature is a great artist: over time, with the help of the ocean and the salty breeze, this material becomes soft and curved, creating terraces and smoothing every corner.

You just have to be careful not to slip, especially on wet rocks. Along the beach near La Scala it is possible to immerse yourself in the crystalline sea, to enjoy a few moments of healthy relax.

Returning to the Greek era of Sicily, we will reach the city of Agrigento to visit its iconic Valley of the Temples.

A large area of the interior is covered in gleaming golden mosaics, which feature an interesting combination of Norman, Byzantine and Islamic art formed in Sicily's most glorious period.

In the late afternoon, a local expert guide will take us on a walking tour of the historic center of Palermo.

We will visit some of the most iconic monuments of the city, including the Royal Palace where the oldest Parliament in Europe is located, the famous Palatine Chapel, the Martorana Church, Santa Caterina and Casa Professa, the Quattro Canti and Piazza Pretoria.
