We say goodbye to Agrigento to reach the town of Marsala: we stroll through the streets of the center where ancient noble palaces, monuments, and imposing baroque-style churches are located. We are awaited by a guided tour inside the Florio wineries: after a tour through the wine cellars, we cannot miss a homemade wine tasting.

Following a trail on foot, we reach the Sapienza refuge and continue towards the Silvestri craters, now inactive volcanic cones. The view from up here extends all the way to the Aeolian Islands and Calabria: truly a unique spectacle! Next, we visit a beekeeping company: we discover the honey extraction lab, taste artisanal honey and typical products of the area.

We're heading to the enchanting Taormina where we'll explore the unmissable Greco-Roman theatre, offering breathtaking views over the Gulf of Naxos.
