BE A GUEST IN SICILY
THE WEST COAST - NEXT TO AFRICA 

FOR SOLO TRAVELERS AND SMALL GROUPS


all year by arrangement

West Coast of Sicily – salt pans, dessert wine, and a hint of Africa

The west coast of Sicily has a character all of its own: its closeness to Africa is reflected in the food, the aromas, the architecture, and in the particular rhythm of everyday life. Here, Sicily feels different again compared to the east or north coast – a little quieter, more relaxed, and more intense.

Erice, Trapani, and Marsala – exploring western Sicily

On this Sicily journey, we discover the town of Erice together, a medieval hilltop village perched about 700 meters above the sea, and we stroll through the narrow streets of Trapani and Marsala. We enjoy the gentle sea breeze and what may be the most beautiful sunset in Sicily over dinner by the salt pans, which are bathed in warm red‑orange light as the sun goes down.

Mazara del Vallo – culture and tradition

In Mazara del Vallo, you feel the special charm of a town shaped by its position on the Mediterranean border between Europe and Africa. Here, cultures, flavors, and ways of life meet in a very unique way – authentic, vibrant, and full of atmosphere. We also visit the Temple of Segesta and the towns of the Belice Valley, which, through their particular history, have become a center for contemporary art.

Tailor‑made trips for solo travelers and small groups

This trip lasts 6 days and 5 nights, can be booked by solo travelers or mini‑groups, and costs 2,250 euros, including personal guiding, individual trip support, transfers, and accommodation. When booked as a micro‑group, the price per person is reduced.
