DESTINATION
Sicily is home to some of Italy’s most iconic destinations and perhaps the most spectacular are the Temples of Selinunte. Once a thriving Greek city of perhaps 30,000, now all that remains of that moment is a site of such architectural and historic significance that it simply must be seen to be believed.

Once only accessible by sea, this rugged coastline is a perfect place to take a sailing tour to see the terraced green hills, explore ancient villages and discover beautiful natural wonders.
