Day 2: Tuesday June 15, 2021

Breakfast at the hotel.8.30am Transfer with our guide to Selinunte Archaeological Site:Part of the Parco Archeologico di Selinunte, this is one of the most

impressive archaeological sites in the Mediterranean, with 2,500-year-old ruins lying on a beautiful high plain overlooking the sea on Sicily's southwest coast near Mazzara del Vallo. Upon entering the park, we can see the impressive Doric temple known as Temple E. Climb into the temple and get an idea of the scale and history of the building. There has been no new develop-ment around the site, allowing us to get a sense of the ancient town that existed thousands of years ago.The visit will include the Temples of the Oriental Hill and Acropolis.

11.30am Transfer to Planeta Ulmo Winery, for a tour of its illustrious vineyards near Men�, wine tasting followed by a light lunch.Nestled at 400 meters above sea level, the vineyard was built in 1995 near the banks of Lake Arancio, on an ancient riverbed whose slope and lime-rich chalky soil ensures perfect drainage and growing conditions for the vines. Indeed, with over 250 hectares of indigenous and international varieties of grapes carefully tailored to the speci�cs of each terroir, it is no surprise that Ulmo is still the reference for Planeta’s most renowned labels; wines like the company’s signature classic Planeta Chardonnay—a single-variety super cru that has become a symbol for the winemaking renaissance in Sicily—, or the world-famous Segreta Bianco and Rosso, named after th e woods surrounding the estate.

Transfer to our hotel with an en-route stop for a guided visit of Mazzara del Vallo, an Arab-in�uenced old town with incredible architecture.Overnight at our hotel, Baglio Oneto dei Principi di San LorenzoDinner tonight is at leisure (not incl.)

Breakfast at the hotel9.00am Transfer along the Northern shoreline to discover the Salt Road between Marsala and Trapani and learn the ancient technique of separating the salt from the sea as practiced by Greeks and Phoenicians.

“You will be stunned by an array of landscapes featuring the widest possible range of colors. The green of the Mediterranean scrub, the brown of the patches of earth which at times becomes ocher, the in�nite shades of blue in the sea, and the white of the salt pans of Nubia and Mozia. There, where the sea meets the earth, you will �nd the “Via del Sale”.

Visit of the lively sea resort, Trapani, on the way to the hillside village of Erice. Erice is the site of an amazing mountaintop fortress overlooking the sea. It has all the charm of a medieval town, with winding streets, gorgeous �owering courtyards and more than 60 small churches. It also known to be the home of the Cult of Venus… Today the town is well-loved for its pastries and other sweet treats. We have time to explore the village and some souvenir shop-ping before lunch on the beautiful terrace of the very popular Elimo Ristorante known for its home-style Sicilian specialties, bu�et and panoramic view.

Transfer to Palermo and check into our hotel, Villa Igiea *****: a turn-of-the-century palazzo at the perimeter of vivid Palermo, the foot of Mount Pellegrino and the Gulf of Palermo. A long-loved seaside-meets-city sanctuary for royalty, dignitaries and Hollywood luminaries…incredible views and tiered villa gardens that sweep down to the port and out to the Tyrrhenian Sea… Totally renovated this year, Villa Igiea is the newest jewel of the Rocco Forte collection of luxury properties.Rest of the afternoon at leisure.8.00pm Farewell Dinner at Villa Igiea, under the stars and overlooking the Gulf of Palermo
