In the afternoon, transfer with a private driver to Marsala, dinner, and overnight stay.

Day 3: Zingaro Nature Reserve and San Vito Lo Capo

We continue to Custonaci, with the evocative Grotta Mangiapane, a place where time seems to have stood still: houses nestled in the rock, tiny alleys, family stories that emerge like fragments of simple and authentic life. Lunch is free. In the afternoon, the extraordinary natural panorama of the Macari coast, a succession of bays, promontories, and silences overlooking an intense sea, before reaching San Vito Lo Capo, with its dazzling white, golden sand, and enveloping blue landscape. Transfer with a private driver to Marsala. Dinner and overnight stay.

Day 4: Breakfast and departure with a private driver for the Parco delle Cave and the Sanctuary of the Holy Father of Perriere, where the stone evokes the memory of labor and a landscape patiently shaped by man. In the morning, a short tasting lunch featuring local products, made right here in these areas, is planned, an authentic testimony to a zero-mile production that speaks of tradition and quality. In the afternoon, we reach the Stagnone Reserve, among mills, salt pans, and waters that shimmer pink and gold depending on the light. We'll conclude the day with a tasting of Marsala wine and other local wines at a historic Marsala winery. Return to the hotel, dinner, and overnight stay.
