Description
Take a day of your Sicilian adventure to escape the island capital on this full-day semiprivate group tour from Palermo, with an expert tour escort.
Take a day of your Sicilian adventure to escape the island capital on this full-day small group tour from Palermo, with an expert tour escort. 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 small group tour from Palermo to visit the fascinating town of Erice and 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 traveling 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 through this captivating landscape, marvel at salt windmills and basins which are still in use today. The 30km road is one of the most evocative routes in Italy, and if you get out of your vehicle, you'll be able to feel the salt in the air! At the end of this unique and fantastic experience, you will return to Palermo.
