Museum Tour in Palermo

There are three outdoor programmes in Palermo, and two of them are trips to the coast. San Vito lo Capo with Scopello and the Zingaro reserve takes eight hours at 611 dollars. Zingaro was Sicily's first nature reserve: traffic through it is closed, a footpath runs along the shore, and the coves can only be reached on foot. Swimming in the Zingaro coves is possible, but there are no beaches in the usual sense: the shore is shingle, the way down is over rocks, and footwear matters more than a towel.

The second trip is Erice and Trapani, also eight hours at 611 dollars. The nature here is of a different kind: the salt works on the coast have operated since antiquity, and a mountain town stands above them. The height difference between sea level and Erice is about seven hundred and fifty metres, and the climate up there is noticeably cooler.

The third entry is shorter and cheaper: three hours in a vintage Fiat 500 around Palermo at 223 dollars. The format is a drive; the route leaves the dense built-up area but does not go far. GetExperience lists 3 outdoor programmes in Palermo, from 223 to 611 dollars; on the day trips car and driver are included in the price, while reserve entry and meals are usually paid separately.
