SECRETS OF SICILY

Code: G045

This tour take you on the west Sicily discovering the cost and some islands and historical sites. Star from Palermo where you can visit its historical centre: Piazza Marina, via Alloro and the Palaces of via Garibaldi; the Church ‘della Magione’, the ‘Spasimo’ and the ‘Kalsa’. We go on to reach Monreale, famous because of its Cathedral, wanted by William II, king of Sicily, which combines harmonically three different styles: Arab, Byzantine and Norman. The second and third nights are in Marettimo, typical and charming fishing village which represents the only inhabited part of the island. The walk takes you inside the Natural Reserve, surrounded by a rich local vegetation and migratory fauna. After Marettimo excursion to the island of Levanzo and then return to Sicily in Trapani. From here begin the second part of the tour around historical sites like Segesta, Mozia, Agrigento, areas of archeological interest. Sicily will impress you at every corner.
