Few
places have been as blessed with such a rich heritage as
Sicily.
For thousands of years
it's ownership shifted between
Carthaginians, Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, Arabs, Normans, Spanish
and finally Italy and all contributed to the culture, cuisine and architecture. Our walks in Western Sicily explore fascinating
towns, lovely nature reserves, a remote island, archaeological sites and
caves dating back to prehistoric times.
One of the most memorable things about Sicily is its cuisine. The
island is incredibly fertile and produces superb fruit and vegetables.
Seafood abounds. You
will have never tasted a mouth-watering cannoli like one fresh from a Sicilian
pastry shop.
Highlights:
- Walking in the sea-front nature
reserves
- Visiting Selununte with its ancient temples
- Tasting Sicilian ice-cream
- Exploring historic Erice and Segesta
- The remote island of Levanzo

About Walkers' World Western Sicily
Rambles:
This is a "two-centred" walking holiday where we stay at two
different hotels during the week. After being
picked up in Palermo, we
have three nights in the town of Marsala and then move north for
four nights in the tiny
sea-front village of Scopello. Our private bus takes us to
the start of the walks and brings us back to the hotel at the end of the day. Our
guided walks show you the best of spectacular countryside and
fascinating towns.
