Overview

Allocate a day of your Sicilian escapade to break away from the island's capital on this comprehensive small group day tour from Palermo, accompanied by a knowledgeable tour escort. The schedule encompasses a visit to the medieval hilltop town of Erice, a delectable lunch, a wine and olive oil tasting at a winery or traditional farm, and a panoramic drive along Marsala’s captivating Salt Route.
While Palermo, the vibrant capital of Sicily, stands as one of Italy's most exhilarating cities, you might find solace in stepping away from its vivacious rhythm after a couple of days. And what better means to achieve this than partaking in a full day small group tour from Palermo, an expedition that unveils the captivating town of Erice and presents the opportunity to marvel at the distinctive vistas of Marsala. Your journey will commence from Palermo, aboard an air-conditioned minivan, guided by an adept driver and tour leader. Brace yourself for a truly extraordinary and enchanting day.

What To Expect

The amazingly sited Castello di Venere in Erice. Towering over the west of Sicily at 751m above sea level and often covered in its own personal cloud, Erice is a wonderfully preserved Mediaeval town offering the most breathtaking views and a palpable sense of history.

Saline of the Laguna Marsala

The salt marshes of Marsala in Sicily are a unique spectacle. Imagine finding yourself in front of placid stretches of water framed by slight white salt dunes where, suddenly, you can see traditional mills. Keep imagining that you are witnessing this show during the sunset time. The orange-red color of the setting sun turns purple and the landscape becomes extraordinarily magical. Well this is one of the experiences you can have by going to the Marsala Salt Pans during an itinerary in Sicily.
