Beautiful place, went in June around 11 am and it wasn’t crowded, really nice views of monuments and the beach. Also liked that tourists were really diverse, there were Italians there too and not solely one nationality. Lastly, if you’re young there’s also a discount, so the ticket end up costing 10 euros. Parking is free and near the area but I’d recommend purchasing the shuttle inside the Parco just to make the experience more enjoyable and if it’s sunny it’s also a wise choice. There’s a little bar near the temple close to the beach and also a restaurant outside.
While this wonderful and expansive archaeological park may not be as popular as the Valley of Temples in Agrigento, I enjoyed it more. It's truly a magnificent and no less significant site than Agrigento. I took nearly 500 photos on my visit and I still didn't get to all of the major sights here. Due perhaps to its far Southwest location here, it's a lot less busy than other archaeological sites in the Southeast.
The largest UNESco archaeological world Heritage site in Europe set over a beautifully kept area leading onto the coast. This iconic UNESCO site features eight temples constructed between 510 BC and 430 BC. The Temple of Concordia is amazing-remarkably intact after 2,500 years and wonderful to walk around. I visited one afternoon in October 2025. Not many people around - it felt like we had the temple to ourselves! I purchased a ticket for the site and a bus that covered half the site. If I were to come again I would plan a whole day trip. It cost €25 for entry and ride for half the site, but I thought it was worth it.
Such an impressive place! The Archaeological Park of Selinunte is huge and absolutely fascinating. When we visited, there were only a few people around, so it felt peaceful and almost magical. You can walk (and even climb a bit) around the ancient ruins, which makes it even more special. For those who don’t want to walk too far, there’s a shuttle service super convenient. Definitely worth a visit! 🏛️☀️🇮🇹
Absolutely magnificent ancient Greek site! Selinunte is an incredible journey back in time. The sheer scale of the ruins and the fascinating architectural variety of the temples are truly awe-inspiring. From the colossal Temple G to the more delicately preserved structures, each site offers a unique glimpse into the sophisticated building techniques of the ancient Greeks. You can easily spend hours marveling at the columns, foundations, and reconstructed elements. For those planning to explore on foot, be prepared for a substantial trek – the full round trip can be around 10 km. I highly recommend bringing sun protection (hat, sunscreen, sunglasses), especially during warmer months, as there's limited shade. However, a fantastic alternative is to utilize the golf cart service that ferries visitors between the various sites. While it costs a bit more, it's a very comfortable and efficient way to see everything, especially if you have mobility concerns or are short on time. A welcome bonus is the presence of small cafes at each major site. They offer a great opportunity to recharge with refreshing beverages and surprisingly tasty paninis. It's the perfect way to break up your exploration and enjoy a snack amidst the ancient splendor. Don't miss Selinunte – it's a truly unforgettable experience!
Day trip from Marsala. Nice park to visit. Almost no visitors. Some areas are still covert by vegetation. Because of this you don’t see the ruins very well. Keep in mind if you want to walk and see all the sights it will be a 10km walk. Take some water and snacks if you plan to walk everything.
Huge and interesting place, big bonus is that you can walk inside the temple to admire the size of it even better. Note for people with reduced mobility...bring your foldable chair with you, very few benches available.
Stunning. We lucked out being there on the first Sunday of the month so it was free. We paid for an audio guide -well worth it to get a bit of insight. We walked it all with no difficulty, although it was a bit hot by the end (despite being November!)

The Chiesa di San Domenico in Castelvetrano is a 16th century masterpiece. Originally commissioned by the Aragon/Tagliavia family, the chapel was once used for their private ceremonies and now serves as the family crypt. The focal point of the church is the incredible stucco-work, the Tree of Jesse (father of King David), created by Antonio Ferraro da Giuliana and his sons. Unfortunately, the church was badly damaged during a major earthquake in 1968 and remain closed for 40 years. Restored over a five-year period, the church finally reopened in 2014 and is now known as the “Sistine of Sicily.”
Limited hours, sign outside says open daily 10 am-12 noon. We were disappointed
Saturday evening Mass is at 7 PM
Wahoo little chapelle Sixteen. ..so beautiful
(Translated by Google) The church, humble on the outside, contains an infinite number of details inside that leave you speechless. Not only is it a pleasure for the eyes, but it is worth getting informed and discovering what is hidden behind each symbol, color or subject. Today I learned so much new about our Sicily, without expecting it! It is not necessary to book and entry is free of charge to preserve the maintenance of the artistic and historical assets inside, but I recommend calling anyway, given that on some days there may be hordes of visitors who have perhaps already invaded the spaces of the small church. We were very lucky to be able to admire everything calmly and after two buses full of tourists had left. It is essential to have someone competent to delight you with everything he knows, otherwise I would have had only a nice superficial memory of statues and frescoes... Alas! as happens on other occasions. I thank the very kind Pasquale who welcomed us with passion, demonstrating how much every corner had to offer, and accompanying us on a real tour of this Sicilian gem. (Original) La chiesa, umile esternamente, dentro racchiude un'infinità di dettagli che ti lasciano a bocca aperta. Non solo è un piacere per gli occhi, ma vale la pena informarsi e scoprire ciò che è celato dietro ogni simbolo, colore o soggetto. Oggi ho imparato così tanto di nuovo sulla nostra Sicilia, senza che me lo aspettassi! Non è necessario prenotare e l'ingresso è ad offerta libera per preservare la manutenzione dei beni artistici e storici al suo interno, ma consiglio di chiamare ugualmente, visto che in alcune giornate possono esserci orde di visitatori che magari hanno già invaso gli spazi della piccola chiesa. Noi siamo stati molto fortunati a poter ammirare il tutto con calma e dopo che se ne fossero andati ben due autobus pieni di turisti. È essenziale avere qualcuno di competente che ti delizi con tutto ciò che sa, altrimenti avrei avuto solo un bel ricordo superficiale di statue e affreschi... Ahimè! come capita in altre occasioni. Ringrazio il gentilissimo Pasquale che ci ha accolto con passione, dimostrando quanto ogni angolo avesse da offrire, e accompagnandoci in un vero e proprio tour di questa chicca sicula.
(Translated by Google) A beautiful heritage site. A massive work of art. The church's caretaker is a friendly person with extensive knowledge of the church. To visit, you must make a donation of 2 euros for its maintenance. (Original) Um património lindíssimo. Uma obra de arte enorme. O cuidador da igreja é uma simpatia e com um vasto conhecimento da mesma. Para visitar tem que efetuar uma doação de 2 euros, para manutenção da mesma.
(Translated by Google) A volunteer guided us through a detailed exploration of the frescoes and monuments housed within this beautiful church, which encompasses years of history. I was deeply fascinated by the story and the works made available to visitors. I recommend history and culture enthusiasts to visit this wonderful church; you will be captivated. (Original) Un volontario ci ha guidati alla scoperta minuziosa degli affreschi e monumenti custoditi all'interno di questa bellissima chiesa, che racchiude anni di storia. Molto affascinata dal racconto e dalle opere messe a disposizione dei visitatori. Consiglio agli appassionati di storia e cultura di andare a visitare questa meravigliosa chiesa, rimarrete affascinati.

Gorgeous beach and nature reserve, a real hidden gem
Beautiful piece of nature.
(Translated by Google) CvThe reserve itself deserves 5 stars, but unfortunately it is frequented by humans. Rubbish scattered among the dunes indicates incivility. Following the directions on Maps you reach the car park and then the entrance. The path of about 200 meters, which crosses the dunes is simple, but very hot, especially if tackled at the hottest times. The beach is spacious, the crystal clear water with a sandy bottom has a minimum depth. If you want, instead of parking you can continue along the dirt road, where you can leave your car in the shade of the tall trees. From here you can reach the mouth of the Belice river more easily, furthermore after having taken a refreshing bath you can walk along the now disused tracks up to the iron bridge. (Original) CvLa riserva in se merita 5 stelle, ma purtroppo viene frequentata dall'essere umano. Rifiuti sparsi tra le dune indicano inciviltà. Seguendo le indicazioni stradali di Maps si raggiunge il parcheggio e quindi l'ingresso. Il sentiero di circa 200 metri, che attraversa le dune è semplice, ma molto caldo, soprattutto se affrontato negli orari più caldi. La spiaggia è spaziosa, l'acqua cristallina con fondale sabbioso ha una profondità minima. Se si vuole, invece di parcheggiare si può proseguire per la strada sterrata, dove si potrà lasciare l'auto all'ombra degli alti alberi. Da qui si potrà raggiungere la foce del fiume Belice più facilmente, inoltre dopo aver fatto un bagno rinfrescante si potranno percorrere i binari, ormai in disuso, sino al ponte di ferro.
(Translated by Google) It is always an exciting experience to cross the reserve in contact with the Mediterranean vegetation, the sea, the mouth of the Belice river. In this period, the first ten days of September, you can admire the white lilies of San Pancrazio which release an intoxicating smell. I recommend you visit it. (Original) È sempre una esperienza emozionante attraversare la riserva a contatto con la vegetazione mediterranea, il mare, la foce del fiume Belice. In questo periodo, prima decade del mese di settembre, si possono ammirare i gigli bianchi di San Pancrazio che rilasciano un odore inebriante. Vi consiglio di visitarla.
(Translated by Google) It's a beautiful beach. It can be easily reached from the PA-MA motorway. The car park is near the beach access. There weren't many people. The cold, crystal clear water. Fantastic! (Original) È una spiaggia bellissima. Si arriva facilmente dall'autostrada PA-MA. Il parcheggio é vicino all'accesso alla spiaggia. Non c'era molta gente. L'acqua fredda e cristallina. Fantastica!
(Translated by Google) Magnificent beach that is never crowded, fresh water at the right level, wind-whipped dunes to visit. I usually position myself near the mouth, right between the river and the sea, where the Belice creates a bend before flowing into the Mediterranean, where the view is truly suggestive: the uncontaminated nature of the valley and the infinite blue of the sea. (Original) Spiaggia magnifica mai affollata, acqua fresca al punto giusto, dune sferzate dal vento da visitare. Sono solito posizionarmi vicino alla foce, proprio tra il fiume e il mare, dove il Belice crea un'ansa prima di gettarsi nel Mediterraneo, dove il punto di vista è davvero suggestivo: la natura incontaminata della valle e l'azzurro infinito del mare.
(Translated by Google) Beautiful beach surrounded by nature..it is easily reached on a flat road to walk 200/300mt..but if you look well there is a quicker access!! Sea and beach for total relaxation! (Original) Spiaggia bellissima immersa nella natura..si raggiunge facilmente su strada pianeggiante da percorrere a piedi 200/300mt..ma se cercate bene c'è un accesso più rapido!! Mare e spiaggia per totale relax!

Amaizing place. Worth EUR2 definitely
(Translated by Google) Very suggestive church in a private park. With a few steps on foot you arrive in the Middle Ages, you return to the simplicity of forms. Thrilling (Original) Chiesa molto suggestiva in un parco privato. Con qualche passo a piedi si arriva nel medioevo, si torna alla semplicità delle forme. Emozionante
(Translated by Google) In the squalor of Castelvetrano, suddenly appears an Arab-Norman jewel, but probably more Norman. The Church of the Holy Trinity of Delia.l, built in the 13th century. One of the few remaining examples of Byzantine Cuba in Sicily. At the center of the Greek cross structure, precisely cube-shaped, soars a raised dome, painted invariably red during a late 19th-century renovation by Giuseppe Patricolo. (Original) Nello squallore di Castelvetrano all'improvviso un gioiello arabo normanno, ma probabilmente più normanno. La Chiesa della Santa Trinità di Delia.l costruita nel XIII. Uno dei pochi esempi di cuba bizantina rimasti in Sicilia Al centro della struttura a croce greca, appunto a forma di cubo, si slancia una cupola a sesto rialzato dipinta immancabilmente di rosso da una ristrutturazione di fine 800 di Giuseppe Patricolo.
(Translated by Google) We came to visit the Church of the Holy Trinity in Delia at 5:00 PM. It closes at 6:00 PM. We found the road to the church locked with a gate, even though the church was listed as open. It's absolutely unacceptable that there's no information online about these sudden closures. We called to ask if we could come in and at least see the church from the outside, and they rudely told us there was no one there, that the church was closed, and that it wasn't their problem if the hours were wrong. They even had the nerve to tell us they had the keys but wouldn't come to open the door for us anyway. You're shameless for wasting people's time like this. There's no point in coming here because you risk finding it closed anyway. Shame on you, terrible management! (Original) Siamo venuti per visitare la chiesa della Santissima Trinità di Delia alle 17.00. L'orario di chiusura è alle 18.00. Abbiamo trovato la strada per arrivare alla chiesa chiusa con un cancello nonostante la chiesa risultasse aperta. Assolutamente inaccettabile che on-line non ci siano informazioni riguardo a queste chiusure improvvise. Abbiamo chiamato per chiedere di poter entrare e di poter vedere almeno la chiesa da fuori, e con maleducazione ci hanno detto che non c'era nessuno, che la chiesa era chiusa e che non era un problema loro se gli orari sono sbagliati. Addirittura hanno avuto la sfacciataggine di dirci che avevano le chiavi ma che tanto non sarebbero venuti ad aprirci. Siete vergognosi a far perdere tempo alla gente in questo modo. È inutile venire qui perché tanto rischiate di trovarla chiusa. Vergognatevi, pessima gestione!

Average shopping mall but nothing special about it. Many shops have closed over time, but they are being replaced promptly. You will find around 40 shops with average prices. Enjoy it :)
A nice little shopping center for tourists. However, communication can be a bit challenging, as most shop staff only speak Italian.
Nice venue, good selection of shops. It would be nice to have some "modern" shops like a healthy food/organic/vegan market, charity exposition space, maybe even a multicultural corner..
It's ok for a couple of hours to relax
Went here three times, the stores are great and the employees are very nice
Just so much confusion and little choices in a small shopping center organized badly
Nice but a number of outlets are closed.

Amazing collection of artifacts from the Valley of the Temples, very well displayed.
(Translated by Google) Today in the name of culture and our past. We arrived at the civic museum after having already visited Selinunte, Castelvetrano, Mazara, Marsala and Mozia. The Castelvetrano museum is worth seeing because there are many finds from ancient civilization, some endogenous products and others coming from other countries. In fact, Selinunte had two ports for both imports and exports. Applause goes to our guide, Mrs Lisa, who passionately introduced us to the artefacts and accurately told the story. Unique piece in the world and main attraction of the museum is the ephebe, entirely made of bronze and of extraordinary beauty. Advised! (Original) Oggi all'insegna della cultura e del nostro passato. Siamo arrivati al museo civico dopo aver già visitato Selinunte, Castelvetrano, Mazara, marsala e mozia. Il museo di Castelvetrano è da vedere perché sono presenti molti reperti della civiltà antica, alcuni prodotti endogeni e ad altri provenienti da altri paesi. Selinunte infatti aveva due porti sia per le importazioni che per le esportazioni. Un plauso va alla nostra guida, signora Lisa, che in maniera appassionata ci ha presentato i manufatti e raccontato accuratamente la storia. Pezzo unico nel mondo e principale attrattiva del museo è l'efebo, interamente realizzato in bronzo e di bellezza straordinaria. Consigliato!
(Translated by Google) The Civic Museum of Castelvetrano is a small treasure chest full of precious treasures: Efebo and other unique pieces. The staff is very kind and knowledgeable. The visit is a must. (Original) Il Museo Civico di Castelvetrano è un piccolo scrigno ricolmo di preziosi tesori: Efebo e altri pezzi unici. Il personale gentilissimo e preparato.

(Translated by Google) Very nice exhibits, pity that the employees did not act as guides for us. It is worth a visit. (Original) Reperti molto belli, peccato che gli impiegati non ci abbiano fatto fa ciceroni. Vale la pena visitarlo
(Translated by Google) In the afternoon, we happened upon the Castelvetrano Civic Museum, a seemingly anonymous entrance, but as soon as we entered, we were captivated by the friendly staff. We toured the small museum (one room) with a very knowledgeable employee, even though she specified she wasn't a guide. Congratulations on a beautiful and rare collection, and thanks again for all the explanations. It's a shame all the churches were closed. (Original) Nel pomeriggio, siamo capitati casualmente davanti al museo civico di Castelvetrano, portone quasi anonimo, ma appena siamo entrati siamo stati coinvolti nella simpatia del personale. Abbiamo visto il piccolo museo (una stanza) con una dipendente veramente preparata, nonostante abbia specificato che non era una guida. Complimenti per una bellissima e rara collezione, e un grazie ancora per tutte le spiegazioni avute. Peccato che tutte le chiese erano chiuse.
(Translated by Google) We arrived at the museum and they didn't accept credit cards. I tried to pay €10.00 with a €50.00 note. I had no change. We had to go out into the city to exchange money. When we returned, we entered one room. The museum is limited to one room, with one remarkable piece. €5.00 per person is an outrage. Definitely not worth it. (Original) Chegamos no museu e não aceitam cartão de crédito. Quis pagar € 10,00 com uma nota de €50,00. Não tinha troco. Tivemos que sair pela cidade para trocar dinheiro. Quando voltamos, entramos em 1 sala. O museu se restringe a uma sala, com uma peça notável. € 5,00 por pessoa é um abuso. Definitivamente não vale a pena.

(Translated by Google) Construction began in 1589 on an area in front of the first sanctuary which stood next to the convent of San Domenico and of which today no trace remains. The church was consecrated in 1660. It has three naves and a long transept with a gabled wooden roof. The original baroque forms were eliminated or modified during the nineteenth-century restoration. The church had a bell tower which was demolished in 1777 because it was in poor condition. It was then rebuilt next to the main façade. With the earthquake of 1968 the structure suffered damage which led to its closure. It was reopened following restoration work that lasted several years. Inside it is possible to admire frescoes with episodes from the life of Saint John the Baptist painted by the Castelvetranese painter Gennaro Pardo (1900-1901), after a fire in 1898 had destroyed the original paintings by Francesco Cutrona. (Original) La costruzione iniziò nel 1589 su un'area antistante il primo santuario che sorgeva a fianco del convento di San Domenico e del quale oggi non resta più traccia. La chiesa venne consacrata nel 1660. Ha tre navate e transetto lungo con copertura lignea a capanna. Le forme barocche originarie furono eliminate o modificate nel corso del restauro ottocentesco. La chiesa presentava un campanile che nel 1777 fu demolito poiché versava in pessime condizioni. Fu ricostruito poi a fianco del prospetto principale. Con il sisma del 1968 la struttura subì dei danni che ne determinarono la chiusura. Fu riaperta in seguito a lavori di restauro durati diversi anni. Al suo interno è possibile ammirare affreschi con episodi della vita di San Giovanni Battista eseguiti dal pittore castelvetranese Gennaro Pardo (1900-1901), dopo che nel 1898 un incendio aveva distrutto le pitture originali di Francesco Cutrona.

Beautiful quiet local church, very peaceful.
(Translated by Google) It is a surprising mother church dating back to the 16th century. The monument is the symbol of the small but fascinating historic center of Castelvetrano. The interior has the characteristics of a typical sixteenth-century basilica with three naves and a wooden ceiling. The altar is adorned with a baroque triumphal altar with stuccos from the Serpotto school. (Original) Si tratta di una sorprendente chiesa madre risalente al XVI secolo. Il monumento è il simbolo del piccolo ma affascinante centro storico di Castelvetrano. L'interno ha le caratteristiche della tipica basilica cinquecentesca con tre navate, e soffitto ligneo. L'altare è adornato da un altare trionfale barocco con stucchi di scuola serpottiana.

Greetings from Finland! I would like to thank the staff at Circuito Triscina for providing me and my wife with such a great time at the circuit! We are greatful for the service, hospitality, kindness and level of expertise that we received during our visit. Triscina is worth the visit in itself. It's a beautiful little town in southwestern Sicily and has one of the most beautiful beaches we have ever seen. The circuit is equally amazing. Atleast to a petrolhead like myself. The circuit is long and fast and the levels of grip are insane. I drove on the circuit a week after there had been a competition so there was much rubber on the track. It's also a very technical track which makes you want to come again and again to hone your skills and perfect it. Circuito Triscina also offers a variety of rental karts depending on your skill level. For experienced drivers you can hire a Rotax dd2 125cc with a sequential gearbox. I've done some racing in the past and drive a kz-class gearbox kart in Finland. The Rotax is mighty fast aswell and I wouldn't recommend it for people with no experience with fast karts. The cost for the Rotax was 50€ for 15min. For me it was well worth it! For newcomers you can rent a more traditional 4-stroke rental kart which also allows you the sense of speed and racing thrills but at a much more safe and approachable level. This type of kart cost 20€ for 15min and is also a huge amount of fun. They also have a two seater kart that me and my wife tried and that was mega aswell! The two seater is 35€ for 15min. All in all we had a fantastic experience and would recommend this place to anyone! We have no complaints whatsoever :) Chebello!
Very cool track and nice cars. Although at 15€ (medium speed cars) and 25€ (high speed cars) per 10 mins, it's quite expensive.
Simply the best!
Wonderful experience, they are fully equipped after covid laws. One of the best experience ever. Bad things: no count or lap time
Only take 360cc track is fantastic.
Worst place ever, no health & safety. Very unprofessional and the carts are very low budget. I've been on better donkey rides
Great track with fantastic facilities
Very nice experience, friendly management Defenetly worth it.

Such a nice location with a great view, great food and service. Perfect place to drop by to eat and relax when visiting Selinunte
Nice view over the beach. Pricing is ok. They stopped cooking the pasta before it could be called al dente. Not much taste. Pizzas ok.
The restaurant's location is great if you want to watch the sunset, which is was we did. The food is tasty and the cocktails well mixed. We had Busiate a la Norma, the only vegetarian option other then side dishes that you apparently can't order on their own, and our friends had a seafood platter. We had Mai Tai's and Mojitos. The service is mixed. One of the waiters was somewhat unfriendly but moving around a lot and the others are somewhat slow but friendly. There didn't seem to be a plan behind who our waiter was. And brush up on your Italian. The menu only comes online which is a pain when your cellphone's battery is low... You definitely pay for the location because the portions or quality of the food and drinks do not really warrant the high prices.
Good for an aperitivo especially the tagliere di pesce in the picture. Good view and vibes. Good service.
Wonderful food. Delicious fish both nights, served with very good side dishes. Very reasonably priced. The service was great. A real success.
Restaurant seemed nice and we got a table at 7pm without having booked. It was 7.30pm before our order was taken. They then brought the wrong starter TWICE. Our mains did not come until 9.15pm and no one even offered us a second drink. Although the staff were apologetic, it did not make up for the extremely slow service. Our evening was ruined and the meal was over €100. Would not eat here again.
friendly staff and good food
A bit oversalted but overall really good food and flawless service!

Beautiful place, went in June around 11 am and it wasn’t crowded, really nice views of monuments and the beach. Also liked that tourists were really diverse, there were Italians there too and not solely one nationality. Lastly, if you’re young there’s also a discount, so the ticket end up costing 10 euros. Parking is free and near the area but I’d recommend purchasing the shuttle inside the Parco just to make the experience more enjoyable and if it’s sunny it’s also a wise choice. There’s a little bar near the temple close to the beach and also a restaurant outside.
While this wonderful and expansive archaeological park may not be as popular as the Valley of Temples in Agrigento, I enjoyed it more. It's truly a magnificent and no less significant site than Agrigento. I took nearly 500 photos on my visit and I still didn't get to all of the major sights here. Due perhaps to its far Southwest location here, it's a lot less busy than other archaeological sites in the Southeast.
The largest UNESco archaeological world Heritage site in Europe set over a beautifully kept area leading onto the coast. This iconic UNESCO site features eight temples constructed between 510 BC and 430 BC. The Temple of Concordia is amazing-remarkably intact after 2,500 years and wonderful to walk around. I visited one afternoon in October 2025. Not many people around - it felt like we had the temple to ourselves! I purchased a ticket for the site and a bus that covered half the site. If I were to come again I would plan a whole day trip. It cost €25 for entry and ride for half the site, but I thought it was worth it.
Such an impressive place! The Archaeological Park of Selinunte is huge and absolutely fascinating. When we visited, there were only a few people around, so it felt peaceful and almost magical. You can walk (and even climb a bit) around the ancient ruins, which makes it even more special. For those who don’t want to walk too far, there’s a shuttle service super convenient. Definitely worth a visit! 🏛️☀️🇮🇹
Absolutely magnificent ancient Greek site! Selinunte is an incredible journey back in time. The sheer scale of the ruins and the fascinating architectural variety of the temples are truly awe-inspiring. From the colossal Temple G to the more delicately preserved structures, each site offers a unique glimpse into the sophisticated building techniques of the ancient Greeks. You can easily spend hours marveling at the columns, foundations, and reconstructed elements. For those planning to explore on foot, be prepared for a substantial trek – the full round trip can be around 10 km. I highly recommend bringing sun protection (hat, sunscreen, sunglasses), especially during warmer months, as there's limited shade. However, a fantastic alternative is to utilize the golf cart service that ferries visitors between the various sites. While it costs a bit more, it's a very comfortable and efficient way to see everything, especially if you have mobility concerns or are short on time. A welcome bonus is the presence of small cafes at each major site. They offer a great opportunity to recharge with refreshing beverages and surprisingly tasty paninis. It's the perfect way to break up your exploration and enjoy a snack amidst the ancient splendor. Don't miss Selinunte – it's a truly unforgettable experience!
Day trip from Marsala. Nice park to visit. Almost no visitors. Some areas are still covert by vegetation. Because of this you don’t see the ruins very well. Keep in mind if you want to walk and see all the sights it will be a 10km walk. Take some water and snacks if you plan to walk everything.
Huge and interesting place, big bonus is that you can walk inside the temple to admire the size of it even better. Note for people with reduced mobility...bring your foldable chair with you, very few benches available.
Stunning. We lucked out being there on the first Sunday of the month so it was free. We paid for an audio guide -well worth it to get a bit of insight. We walked it all with no difficulty, although it was a bit hot by the end (despite being November!)
