Sicily has been a crossroad for all ancient civilizations.
The island’s west attracted the Greek, the Phoenicians, the Romans, the Normans and the Spanish.
The west offers rich fish ground, ancient old saltpans, perfect hills for wine and olive cultivation. Marsala wine is also a local produce.
No more an off-the-beaten-track destination, this part of the island offers a wide range of things to do.
From some of Europe’s most beautiful beaches, to ancient ruins and dramatic mountain sites and a unique local cuisine, western Sicily offers it all.
This is the best-preserved Doric temple in the world with a stunning Greek theatre (still used for summer plays). The main reason to visit Segesta is to see a single amazing temple in a lonely field, the Tempio di Segesta. Beautiful walk around the area, always with the temple in sight from different perspectives.
