Welcome to the West of Sicily - Fam Trip 8-12 May 2025

Welcome to the West of Sicily: a journey through history, nature and flavours

The province of Trapani, at the western tip of Sicily, is a land full of charm where history, nature, and traditions intertwine in a breathtaking landscape. The capital, with its historic center and famous salt pans, is the ideal starting point to explore unique places such as Erice, a historical village with spectacular views, and Marsala, renowned for its wine and the Stagnone Reserve.

Among the archaeological wonders, Selinunte and Segesta stand out, while nature lovers can discover the Zingaro Reserve and the enchanting Egadi Islands. The journey is completed with extraordinary gastronomy, featuring authentic flavours like seafood couscous and Trapanese pesto busiate.

A tour of Trapani is an immersion into timeless beauty and traditions to savour.

Join us for an unforgettable journey, a fam trip arranged for professionals specializing in outdoor, green tourism and well-being, through the heart of the West of Sicily: a treasure trove of breathtaking landscapes, rich traditions and authentic Sicilian hospitality.

The province of Trapani, where our journey will unfold, will lead us to hilltop towns where history and culture blend and to coastal villages that thrive on age-old fishing traditions. Majestic nature reserves, golden sandy beaches and rugged cliffs provide a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts, offering endless opportunities for exploration.

This exclusive fam trip consists of three distinct itineraries, each tailored to showcase the best of this enchanting territory. 

Five days to engage with local communities, visit natural and historical landmarks and take part in extraordinary culinary experiences.

We look forward to welcoming you to the West of Sicily and sharing its wonders with you!
