Overview of your Palermo tour

Embark on a journey to an underappreciated region of Sicily, where ancient history, Greek architecture, and a serene natural environment converge. Selinunte stands as one of Sicily’s most evocative and impressive archaeological sites, having remained largely untouched by modern development. In the 5th Century BC, it rivaled Syracuse in prominence. The site encompasses several temples, remnants of the ancient city, and remarkable ruins exceeding 2,700 years in age, set against a picturesque landscape. Segesta, as per traditional legend, traces its origins to Troy. Situated atop the isolated hill known as Barbaro, it offers a breathtaking panorama and is bordered by the river Crimiso, near Calatafimi. The well-preserved temple and Greek theater were constructed in the late 5th century BC.
