Erice & Marsala Day Trip from Palermo with Lunch - Small Group Tour
Escape from the city for a day and get to know another side of Sicily with this guided semi-private group tour from Palermo to Erice and Marsala!
Head for the medieval hilltop town of Erice where lunch awaits. Then, there’s a panoramic drive along the Marsala Salt Route.
Palermo is one of Italy's most fascinating cities but after a few days there you may want to try something different. To get to know another side of Sicily, why not take a full day small group tour to the hilltop town of Erice? You’ll also get to experience one of the island’s most scenic routes along the west coast to Marsala.
The medieval hilltop village of Erice is a must on any Sicilian itinerary, and it’s the first stop on this small-group tour. Wander through its stunning cobbled streets soaking up the magical atmosphere. Find the viewpoints that look out over the nearby city of Trapani and all the way out to the Egadi Islands off the island’s west coast. As well as free time in Erice, there’ll be a stop for a traditional Sicilian granita. Delicious!
The Sicilian granita is not the only delicacy you’ll be sampling on your full day group tour from Palermo. Jump back in the minivan from Erice and you will head for the town of Marsala. You may know the name from a sweet, dessert wine, but it’s not the only product the town is famed for. It also makes excellent olive oil! We’ll stop off for a full Sicilian lunch at a local restaurant, where you will get to taste all the best local wines and olive oils from the area.
It’s not about the destination, it’s about the journey. That’s certainly true of the final part of your day trip from Palermo. You’ll take the Marsala salt route, a 30km journey which has been designated a natural and cultural site landscape, connecting land and sea. See windmills, basins and salt pyramids and feel the salt in the air when you wind the windows down or leave your vehicle. Much of the windmills and basins are still in use today!
