About

Dedicate a day of your Sicilian journey to venture beyond the island's capital with this full-day small group tour from Palermo, led by an experienced tour guide. The schedule includes a visit to the medieval hilltop town of Erice, a traditional Sicilian lunch, a wine tasting experience, and a scenic tour along Marsala's Salt Route! As the vibrant capital of Sicily, Palermo stands out as one of the most thrilling cities in all of Italy.

After a few days, you may find yourself wanting to break away from the lively atmosphere! A fantastic option for this is to take a full-day small group tour from Palermo, where you can explore the intriguing town of Erice and enjoy the distinctive views of Marsala. You will set off from Palermo in a high-quality minivan, accompanied by a knowledgeable driver and tour guide.

The medieval hilltop village of Erice serves as our initial destination. Wander through its narrow streets and discover charming courtyards. Keep an eye out for viewpoints that offer stunning vistas of the Egadi Islands and the city of Trapani. You’ll experience a sense of traveling through time, enveloped by a timeless beauty. Naturally, while in Sicily, it’s the perfect moment for a snack, and in Erice, we will enjoy a delightful pause by sampling a local Sicilian granita.

There’s no need for concern, as this won’t be the sole delightful experience of the day. At the next destination of the trip, there will be an opportunity to enjoy a traditional Sicilian lunch complemented by a tasting of local wines. Additionally, during the meal, you’ll have the chance to relish the unique flavor of olive oil, a product for which this region is well-known.

Continuing your journey from Erice, you will travel along Sicily's western coastline towards Marsala, a town renowned for its sweet wine and the intriguing salt mills road known as the Saline. As you navigate through this enchanting scenery, take in the sight of operational salt windmills and basins that remain in use today. Spanning 30 kilometers, this route is among the most evocative in Italy, and stepping out of your vehicle will allow you to sense the salt in the atmosphere! Concluding this remarkable and distinctive adventure, you will make your way back to Palermo.
