One of the most prestigious areas of the island is the western part, where it is possible to organize an extremely suggestive and interesting tour. Trapani is one of the most popular tourist destinations, with its enchanting sea, naturalistic areas and places of cultural interest such as the Annunziata Sanctuary and the Pepoli Regional Museum. Marsala, the city of wine, guardian of one of the most suggestive stretches of coast in the area, is located a few kilometers from Trapani.
Within this itinerary, a visit to the mysterious Island of Mothia, located opposite the Marsala coast, is also a must, but also to archaeological sites such as Segesta. Among the enormous riches of the historical heritage are the Doric temple of Segesta, the Greek theater and the medieval village, with the castle overlooking the city and from which you can enjoy a breathtaking view of the area, ideal for taking a souvenir photo at the sunset.

Among the symbolic cities of Sicily there is obviously Palermo, the capital, the ideal destination for organizing a tour of Baroque Sicily. Here you can visit the wonderful alleys and monuments of the historic center, including the Palazzo dei Normanni dating back to the 9th century, the Cathedral of Palermo and the royal tombs, or the beautiful Teatro Massimo, renowned for its excellent acoustics and the countless events hosted in every season.

Being in Palermo it is impossible not to visit Monreale: easily accessible by car or bus, the Cathedral of Monreale is the best example of Byzantine art applied in a Christian Cathedral. It is estimated that more than a ton of gold is present in mosaic tiles and decorations. Of international appeal is the Christ Pantocrator who dominates the altar.

A holiday in Sicily would not be complete without a visit to the numerous archaeological sites in the region, such as Selinunte, located within the municipality of Castelvetrano. You can admire the remains of the ancient city founded in the seventh century BC, with the Acropolis, the walls and the sacred area of the temples. From Selinunte it is possible to reach Mazara del Vallo, a thriving center of Trapani, rich in history and traditions, one of those places where the many cultural contaminations of Sicily are immediately visible and emerge with arrogance.
Born in fact following the Phoenician impulse, Mazara del Vallo played an important role both in the Greek era and during the Arab and Norman dominations.
It is in the museum of Mazara del Vallo that the Dancing Satyr is kept a bronze statue depicting a satyr and dating from the IV-III century. B.C

One of the most sought after provinces of Palermo and a destination for years of international tourism is Cefalù. It offers splendid beaches and a Norman setting recognizable by the Cathedral and the urban structure. In front of the Cathedral, in 1934 the Mandralisca Museum was born, which preserves archaeological, artistic and scientific collections. It is made by Baron Piraino of Mandralisca.
Also in the province of Palermo is the so-called Città delle Ville, or Bagheria, known for its majestic Baroque houses. Among the most famous Villa Palagonia, also known as Villa dei Mostri which was built in 1715 by the Prince of Palagonia, Francesco Ferdinando Gravina and Bonanni. Already in the eighteenth century it was known to visitors as “the most original place in the world and famous throughout Europe".
