This medieval city overlooking the sea awes and inspires all who visit. Afterward, visit the archaeological site of Segesta with its well-preserved Doric Temple from the 5th century B.C., situated on a hill that overlooks countryside where vineyards stretch on for miles.

A local guide is on hand to offer insight into the historic cycle of destruction and rebirth that produced the epic panorama before you. On your way up, we’ll make a special stop at a well-known local winery famous for crafting wines from grapes grown in the rich volcanic soil on Etna’s slope. Here, enjoy a traditional Sicilian lunch and sample some of the winery’s most prized wines. Duration: Approximately 4 hours. Please note a minimum of 15 passengers is required. Transportation is included.

Palermo Dinner at Mondello Beach $75 USD Travel to Palermo’s chic Mondello Beach for a spectacular 4-course meal at one of the area’s local seafood restaurants.
