Sicily keeps a special place welcome for the discerning traveller who appreciates the finer elements of life, and who looks for more from a holiday than lying by the pool.
All the ancient civilizations that succeeded in conquering Sicily
left behind them an outstanding heritage of artistic achievement.
Visit the extraordinary and unique Greek site of Segesta, with its
Doric temple and amphitheatre situated in pristine countryside, standing
alone in tranquil beauty amidst nature. A little further afield is
the enclave of Erice with its delightful medieval ambience and breathtaking
hilltop location, filled with castles, churches and winding cobbled
streets.
The capital, Palermo is a mere 70km from Scopello, but do not go with an itinerary; no map does justice to a city so colonised, yet so proud of its identity.
