Your Experience

Lose Yourself in the Enchanting Beauty of Erice

Set off from Palermo in a top-notch minivan and head towards the first stop for the day - the hilltop town of Erice. The city is particularly known for its small, narrow streets and delightful courtyards. Visit all the scenic lookout points from where you can view Egadi Islands and Trapani city. The town has a rich legacy in ancient literature as it was popularized by the veteran poet Virgil in his epic work, Aeneid.

When in Sicily, it’s always time for a snack! Enjoy a short break to taste local Sicilian granita before continuing on to Marsala.

Sample Wines and Olive Oil at Marsala

Marsala welcomes you with its fame of sweet wines and olive oils. Sample the specialties in a local winery or farm and indulge in a full Sicilian lunch. The last leg of the tour is a drive along the panoramic Salt Route. The 30km stretch of road is peppered with salt windmills and basins that are still used today. If you get out of the vehicle, you can surely feel and smell the salt that permeates the air in the region.
