Western Sicily has attractions of the caliber of those on the eastern coast, but they are often less accessible by public transportation. Instead of renting a car and dealing with the hassle of driving in Italy, let someone else take you to Segesta and Selinunte—two of Sicily’s less-known, but no less beautiful archeological ruins located nearly on separate coasts, and roughly an hour apart by car.

Our driver will accompany you to Erice where you will have 1h30 hours to visit that beautiful Sicilian village, small and authentic where the Elimi settled. Getting lost in its streets is fascinating, but even more beautiful is the view that allows you to admire... it leaves you breathless! We will continue to Segesta (time available 1h30) for a visit to the Doric Temple in all its beauty and the Hellenistic Theatre considered one of the most beautiful of the classical period, both for its excellent state of preservation and for its spectacular position on the Gulf of Castellammare. Entrance ticket not included. Along the way there is a stop at a well-known pastry shop for the tasting of the most famous cannoli of the province.
