Tours are private, customizable and available for larger groups as well. You will be picked up from the Port of Trapani for this shore excursion. From Trapani to Selinunte, you will embark on a guided tour to see some of the most important sites in the Mediterranean. Inside the marvelous archeological area of Selinunte, you will see the Eastern Hill with three temples, the Acropolis with the ancient city, more temples and many other interesting excavations dating back to the 7th century B.C.
Continue towards Mazara. The atmosphere inside the Kasbah here is very particular- quiet and peaceful at any hour of the day. The narrow streets of this Arab quarter almost impede the passage of cars, creating sensations really difficult to find elsewhere.
After, visit the beautiful coast of Marsala where salt pans gather in heaps of white salt during harvest, and windmills follow a network of paths that probably go back as far as the Phoenicians.
