End point

• Erice is a charming medieval village, among the most beautiful in Italy, located on the top of the mountain of the same name, on the west coast of Sicily, just 13 km from the province of Trapani. This charming place is characterized by a mix of architectural styles, ranging from medieval to Arabic, from Baroque to Liberty, reflecting the rich and complex history of this small town. Walking through its narrow streets, you will discover watchtowers, monasteries, historic gates and a mysterious castle, as well as more than sixty churches, all enclosed by imposing Cyclopean walls. Erice is really a place to explore for those who love history and architecture. If you're a sweet tooth, you can't miss Genovese, Erice's typical dessert! I recommend you try it in one of the famous pastry shops in the village, where you can enjoy this delight filled with custard. It is a real pleasure for the palate that will make you appreciate even more the culinary tradition of this enchanting place!

• If you are a nature lover, the nature reserve oriented salt pans of Trapani and Paceco is the perfect place for you. This reserve covers about 1000 hectares and has large white tanks, used for salt cultivation. A fascinating aspect of this place is its rich birdlife. Here you can spot many species of birds, including the elegant Pink Flamingo, Avocet and various seagulls, as well as several species of migratory birds. Because these animals are wild and wary, it is advisable to bring binoculars for observation and a telephoto lens for photography. The windmills, symbol of the reserve, tell the story of salt processing in the past. The Reserve of the Salt Pans of Trapani and Paceco is a real spectacle of colors and breathtaking landscapes, representing an oasis of wealth for the territory. In summary, it is a paradise for nature photographers and anyone who wants to immerse themselves in the beauty of nature

• It is one of the most requested experiences for those visiting Palermo or Trapani, and it is an unmissable opportunity to immerse yourself in the history of Sicily. You will discover the remains of the acropolis, explore the mysteries of the magnificent Doric Temple, and be fascinated by the splendor of the ancient theater, which once housed up to 4,000 spectators. Today, the theater is still in use for musical performances and ancient tragedies, a fascinating blend of past and present. The Archaeological Park of Segesta is one of the main tourist attractions of western Sicily, and the city, which was deeply influenced by the Hellenic culture, played a key role in the Mediterranean, so much so that it was involved in conflicts with cities such as Selinunte, Athens and Carthage. A tour that not only takes you back in time, but also gives you a deeper understanding of a place rich in history and beauty
