Your journey to discover western Sicily and the Egadi Islands begins in Marsala, a thousand-year-old city overlooking the sea, known for its history, light and hospitality. Independent arrival at Palermo or Trapani airport and independent transfer to the selected holiday home / B&B and check-in. In the afternoon, meeting with Giulia for a welcome cocktail, the perfect occasion to find out all the details of the tour. A convivial opportunity to get to know each other, hear the expectations for the journey and share the first stories over a glass of local wine. Dinner and overnight stay in Marsala.

Breakfast and meeting with the local guide for the guided visit of Marsala, an ancient Phoenician city, among Baroque churches, golden alleys and stories that speak of wine, sea and ancient dominations. During the walk we will discover places, scents and stories that define the city's authentic identity, we will meet a small artisan, a salt worker or a local producer: an opportunity to hear their story, taste one of their specialities or perhaps discover a traditional recipe. As always, Giulia will be with the group to accompany the participants, and the visit will also be an opportunity to learn about the history of Marsala wine and the link between culture, territory and tradition. Lunch at leisure. In the afternoon, by coach, we will reach the Stagnone Reserve, among mills, salt pans and pink waters that reflect the sky, and visit Mozia. The day ends with a sunset aperitif-dinner in a salt pan. Overnight stay in Marsala.

Breakfast and departure by coach to San Vito Lo Capo, one of the seaside gems of Sicily. We will embark on a boat excursion from San Vito Lo Capo to Scopello, sailing along the spectacular coast of the Zingaro Reserve: secret coves, crystal-clear water, sea stacks and bays that offer unforgettable scenery, letting ourselves be carried by the captain's tales, among ancient myths and sea legends that add a touch of magic to the experience. Lunch at leisure and an afternoon free to enjoy the sea on the beach at San Vito Lo Capo or to stroll through the streets of the fishing village, perhaps treating yourself to an ice cream, a granita or a moment of relaxation in its most characteristic corners. We will return to Marsala in the afternoon. Dinner and overnight stay.

Levanzo is an island that speaks through its inhabitants: those who wish can listen to the stories of the fishermen who live here all year round.
