Segesta, Erice and Saline di Trapani/Marsala Excursion-ESC04

Departure is scheduled at 8:30 am from your hotel or from the Gulliver Agency in Sciacca, heading towards our first stop: Segesta.

Here you will admire the ancient Doric-style Temple of Hera, still remarkably well preserved, the impressive Greek Theatre, and the archaeological remains of temples and sanctuaries that tell the story of one of the most powerful cities of Magna Graecia.

Our tour will continue with a visit to Erice, a small medieval village rich in history and tradition which, with its narrow streets, courtyards and temples, seems to have remained stuck in time. Here you can find: the Castle of Venus, the Norman Castle, one of the most beautiful views of the city of Trapani and the Chiesa Madre.

The last stop of our excursion will be Marsala which is famous for the landing of Garibaldi's expedition of the Thousand, for the production of wine and for the famous Saline. The latter are very renowned for the “salt culture”, a centuries-old tradition that has shaped the territory by creating salt marshes on the lagoon between Trapani and Marsala, like the Sicilian Lagoon.
