Lilybeo Village

At the extreme tip of the island, in the heart of the Mediterranean, lies Marsala, a city of Phoenician origins with Greek, Roman, Arab, Norman, Swabian, Angevin, and Spanish influences. A European city of wine and a host of kitesurfing world championships, Marsala looks out towards the Egadi Islands. An unspoiled landscape of rare beauty, featuring the Stagnone Lagoon Nature Reserve, its stunning islands, salt pans, and windmills, an enchanting setting all the way to the Phoenician island of Mozia, an archaeological site like no other. In Marsala, you can visit the Punic Ship, the oldest war ship in the world. From Marsala to the west along the Tyrrhenian Coast, you can visit the Medieval village of Erice with the Castle of Venus, the Cofano Nature Reserve and the Zingaro Reserve, the beach of San Vito lo Capo, the Medieval village of Scopello, Castellammare del Golfo, the Segesta Archaeological Park, and eventually Palermo. From Marsala to the east along the Mediterranean coast, you can find the Feto Reserve, Mazara del Vallo with the Dancing Satyr, the Cusa quarries, Selinunte with the largest archaeological park in Europe, and finally the Valley of the Temples Archaeological Park.
