Segesta and Erice - Day Trip from Palermo

What is amazing about Western Sicily is that just 1 hour driving from Palermo you feel in a different world. Western Sicily means open landscapes, amazing colors, vineyards and ​history. I love this a part of the island because when I am there I always feel free and relaxed. Our first stop will be the archaeological park in Segesta, one of the cities of the Elymians, the original inhabitants of this area. We will visit the doric temple from the 5. b. C. and the theater, surrounded by a colorful landscape: there you will take amazing photos: so, be ready to change your Facebook profile picture! Erice is a cozy town with a medieval shape on the top of the Mount San Giuliano (751m, 2100 ft). When I was a child my family brought me here to buy almond pastries! A walk trough its small street is a must. We will visit also the mother church and the area of the castle, from where we will have a breathtaking landscape. We will also have a lunch break in the town, before driving back to Palermo.
