Sample freshly baked pastry in quaint bakeries (at your own expense) before traveling onward to Segesta, another city associated with the ancient Elymian people, and opt to enter the captivating archeological site independently, at your own expense.

Historical knowledge enriched, return to your vehicle and relax during the scenic drive back to Palermo, where the tour concludes.
