It's about an hour's drive from Trapani to Selinunte.
Arriving at Selinus, you will discover the remains of a city founded by the Carthaginians in the mid-7th century. Visit the remnants of three impressive temples that once graced the site. The first is Temple E, dating back to the 5th century BC and rebuilt in 1958. To the right stands Temple F, lying completely in ruins. Archaeologists believed that Temple G was dedicated to Apollo, and was among the largest of its type in the ancient world. Each of its columns weighs several tons. The surrounding rubble gives some indication of its immense size.
You will also explore the Acropolis with your guide. It was partially rebuilt in 1925, and was dominated the columns of Temple C (6th century BC).
Return to the ship via the coastal route.
