Southern Italy & Spain Wine Voyage

Description

Leave the pier and drive along the Via del Sale (the Salt Road), passing the historic salt pans and windmills that characterize this coastal landscape. A brief photo stop is made along the route, which also offers panoramic views of Mozia Island. Located just offshore, Mozia was one of the most important Phoenician and Carthaginian settlements in the Mediterranean, owing to its strategic position as a coastal trading center.

Continue to Marsala, located on Cape Boeo at the westernmost point of Sicily. Upon arrival, enjoy a brief walking tour introducing the city’s long and complex history. Founded by Phoenician refugees after the destruction of Mozia by Dionysius I of Syracuse, Marsala later came under Roman, Vandal, Byzantine, Muslim, and Norman rule. During the Norman period, beginning in 1072, the city saw the construction of castles, churches, and convents that shaped its urban character.

Marsala is also renowned for the dessert wine that bears its name. Visit the historic Cantine Florio winery for a tour of its wine cellars, followed by a tasting of local wines, including Marsala, accompanied by Sicilian specialties. Re-board the coach for the return journey to Trapani, with a final stop at the Torre di Ligny. Built in 1671, this quadrangular coastal tower offers sweeping views toward the Egadi Islands, as well as the nearby islets of the Lazzaretto and Torre della Colombaia, before continuing back to the pier.

Discover the rich history and panoramic beauty of Cagliari on this scenic exploration of Sardinia’s captivating capital.

One of Italy’s oldest cities, Cagliari traces its origins to the Phoenician settlement of ancient “Karalis,” the only colony on the island to endure through successive foreign dominations, each leaving distinct cultural and architectural influences.

Explore the UNESCO site of Nora, an ancient city along Sardinia’s coast. Roman and Phoenician ruins are revealed, including a well-preserved theater and the Carthaginian warehouses.

Drive along the south-west coast of Sardinia to Nora, on the same road traditionally taken each May by thousands of pilgrims who are following the trail of Sant‘ Efisio, a Roman soldier and Christian who was martyred in 303AD by the Emperor Diocletian. Along the way you enjoy a short panoramic drive through Cagliari and a brief stop at Monte Urpinu, where you enjoy good views over the city.

Nora was founded in the ninth century BC by Phoenician traders, and it had two harbors. The city enjoyed its greatest prosperity under the Romans but was abandoned around 800AD and has since become partially submerged by the sea. The ruins visible today are not as spectacular as some in mainland Italy, but are nonetheless very extensive. They include Carthaginian warehouses, Roman baths with mosaic floors, the remains of temples and a well-preserved theatre. After a walking tour of the excavations, you stop to view the small church that traditionally stands on the site of St. Efisio's martyrdom. From here, you reboard the coach for the return back to your yacht in port.
