Stop At: Borgo Storico Erice, Via Salerno, 91016, Erice, Sicily Italy

A site of unforgettable beauty characterizes Erice, an ancient Phoenician and Greek city, perched at a height of 751 m on the mountain of the same name, crowned by a triangular plateau with a terrace overlooking the sea.

Defended by ramparts and walls, the city is a labyrinth of cobbled streets and passages so narrow as to allow the passage of a single man. The houses, closed to each other, have pretty and well-kept internal courtyards, defended and protected from the sight of passers-by so that family life takes place in complete intimacy

Duration: 2 hours

Stop At: Tempio di Segesta, Contrada Barbaro SNC, 91013 Calatafimi-Segesta, Sicily Italy

The exceptional nature of this place also lies in the fact that even today, the most unique case that is rare in Sicily and beyond, it appears to the many who arrive as it appeared to the travelers of the Grand Tour. The whole area has remained almost the same: vast hills destined for sowing or grazing, modest mountains animated by few trees. Few recent constructions.
Already from afar, along the state road or the motorway towards Trapani, the temple, isolated in the middle of a sea of hills, is striking for its grandeur.

Duration: 3 hours
