In the morning you go on tracks of the ancient Elymian people as far as the ancient town of Calatafimi of Arab origin. Just a few kilometers from here, you arrive in Segesta where you can easily imagine what it was like to live in Sicily in ancient times. Segesta's history is intertwined with its arch-rival Selinunte. It offers the visit, on the cliff, to the 5th Century Doric Temple held up by 36 columns and the Hellenistic Theatre - carved in the rock - overlooks the splendid view from the top of Mount Barbaro at an elevation of 400 meters above sea level.

Taking into consideration all the Greek sites and temples existing in Sicily, we encourage you to see Segesta during your stay in Sicily, not only for the structures themselves, but for the beautiful and natural setting. Then you reach Erice, ancient Punic and Greek town (about 751 meters above sea level) on the mountain that has the same name. Surrounded by ancient walls, it is a labyrinth of clattered old stone streets and medieval churches adorned by beautiful buildings. In the historical center you will visit the Matrice with its marvelous bell tower and the Balio. There are some ancient Elimi and Phoenician walls around the north eastern side of the city, and two castles: Pepoli Castle - with foundations dating from Saracen times - and Venus Castle, dating from the Norman era but built on ruins of the ancient Temple of Venus.
