This holiday provides a wonderful introduction to Sicily's western coast, an undiscovered part of the island renowned for its beautiful, unspoilt coastline, pristine nature reserves, spectacular Baroque architecture and sumptuous regional cuisine.
Your journey begins from the coastal town of Castellammare del Golfo from where you'll head inland to discover the stunning ancient Greek city of Segesta before returning to the coast at Trapani. Enjoy a day out of the saddle to explore its Baroque churches and take the cable car to the medieval village of Erice. You also have the option to visit the Egadi islands, all within easy reach from the port of Trapani. Continue your ride to Marsala, renowned for its sweet fortified dessert wine, stopping en route to explore the Phoenician island of Mozia. Your final days take you to Mazara del Vallo and its famous bronze statue the Dancing Satyr, before reaching your final destination, Selinunte, one of the largest archaeological parks in Europe.
Arrive at Castellammare del Golfo with its glittering coastlines and authentic Sicilian 'feel'. Enjoy an afternoon in one of Sicily's most picturesque seaside towns.
Overnight at Sopra le Mura Boutique Hotel
