Continue the visit in the old part of the city with the Cathedral, the Royal Palace, and the Palatine Chapel. Proceed to Monreale, famous for its Cathedral with polychrome mosaics on a golden background, depicting scenes from the Old and New Testament. End the visit with the cloister. Continue to Marsala and overnight.

Return to Marsala. Overnight.

DAY 3: MARSALA, ERICE & SEGESTA

    Suggested itinerary: Go to Marsala, famous for its salt pans and wine production. Stop at the Stagnone Reserve, a magical place with a suggestive natural landscape of rare beauty due to its white salt pans with windmills. Continue driving to Erice, the medieval town on the top of Mount San Giuliano. Here you can admire the Norman Castle (outside) and the Cathedral. Meanwhile, we suggest stopping at a bakery to taste the typical almond paste of Erice. Continue to Segesta, one of the most beautiful archaeological sites in Sicily, where it is recommended to visit the Doric temple whose majestic appearance and dominant position give great nobility to the landscape.
