A new key to discover the wonderful complexity of Sicily.
8 days to experience magical moments of relaxation on the sea of Sicily, while being able to visit must-see places such as Palermo, Monreale, the Zingaro Nature Reserve, San Vito Lo Capo and Erice.
The island of treasures. It would take months, perhaps years, to visit all the countless attractions of Sicily: a treasure chest that, once opened, reveals endless treasures and surprises as to history, landscapes, flavors and traditions. A land touched by many different and important dominations that have left testimonies that have become over the centuries the calling card of tourism in Italy. A mild and generous climate all year round, a sea that has nothing to envy to the more emblazoned Caribbean, a welcoming and sunny population.
A sun that bewitches. Besides visiting Palermo and its treasures, the smaller islands, temples and salt pans, and besides seeing the ceramics and mosaics, what could make a trip to this magical island even more inviting? We could, for example, fully enjoy its sunshine, which on a par with the most famous cities of art and monuments deserves to be included among the treasures of Sicily. Not only because it shines all year round, but because it colors and shapes the island’s landscapes, sometimes golden, sometimes lighting them fiery red.

Itinerary
Relaxation on the Mediterranean
Northwestern Sicily is home to some of its most magical treasures, in the wilderness of the Zingaro Nature Reserve, among the evocative Salt Pans of Marsala, in surprising villages such as Erice and Macari, and above all on the wonderful Egadi Islands, jewels on the Mediterranean where sunsets fill the heart.
Departure - Palermo
We leave for Palermo on a scheduled flight, and upon arrival we are transferred to the resort that will be our base for the entire stay. The assistant is on hand to give initial directions, and we have some time to relax. Just before dinner we meet the rest of the group and find a welcome cocktail waiting for us.
Trapani - Erice
In the morning we leave for Trapani, visit with the guide its historic center overlooked by the Church of the Jesuit College and the Church of the Anime Sante del Purgatorio, and finish with a walk along the Mura di Tramontana. Lunch is free. In the afternoon we reach Erice, a medieval village perched 750 meters above sea level, a veritable terrace overlooking the sea. We stroll with the guide through the alleys and narrow streets of the town, and after a tasting of its famous pastries we return to the hotel for dinner.
