On the itinerary is the medieval hilltop town of Erice, a typical Sicilian lunch, a wine tasting and a panoramic tour along Marsala's Salt Route! Palermo, the Sicilian capital, is one of the most exciting and vibrant cities in the whole of Italy. However, you might want to escape its hustle and bustle after a few days! And there's no better way to do that than a full day tour from Palermo to visit the fascinating town of Erice and to admire the unique panoramas of Marsala. You will depart from Palermo on a top notch minivan with an expert driver and tour leader. The first stop is the medieval hilltop village of Erice. Stroll through the narrow streets and find delightful little courtyards. Lookout for the viewpoints where you can see out to the Egadi Islands and over the city of Trapani. You will feel like travelling through times, surrounded by an ancient kind of beauty. Of course, when in Sicily, it’s always a good time for a snack and in Erice we will have a tasty break by tasting a local Sicilian granita. Don’t worry, it won’t be the only tasty moment during the day, as in the next stop of the day trip there will be time also to savor a typical Sicilian lunch, along with a wine tasting of local blends: during lunch there will also be the chance to savor the special taste of olive oil, a local product this area is very famous for. After leaving Erice, you'll carry on along the west coast of Sicily towards Marsala, a town famous for producing sweet wine and also for the fascinating salt mills road, the so- called Saline. Passing though this captivating landscape, marvel at salt windmills and basins which are still in use today. The landscape is striking and poetic, with the scent of salt in the air and the light dancing across the water.
As the day draws to a close, you'll return to Palermo with unforgettable memories of Western Sicily’s beauty, heritage, and flavors.
