Tour

Sicily has a rich history that includes 25 centuries of foreign domination by Greeks, Romans, Arabs and Normans. The result is an impressive cultural heritage. Experience that legacy first-hand with this full-day excursion to explore the Norman fortified town of Erice and the ruins of the ancient city of Segesta.

This tour will allow you to admire the beautiful west coast of Sicily. It begins with a scenic drive along the famous salt pans, characteristic of Trapani’s cityscape and the entire coastline to Marsala. The next stop will be at the famous Cantine Florio, where you will have the opportunity to visit the winery and enjoy an excellent wine tasting accompanied by typical Sicilian food.

The medieval hill town of Erice is about 45 minutes north-east of Trapani. Settled by the Elymians, an ancient mountain people who also founded Segesta, it was an important religious site. You will visit some of the most beautiful and important churches including the Mother Church and then move on to Trapani’s historical centre.
