Selinunte

31 May

We made a quick exit from Marsala this morning so we could arrive in Selinunte with enough time to walk through the Archeological Park. It was a relatively flat ride so we made good time and were able to check in to our B&B early so that we didn’t have the bike to worry about.

The ruins here cover quite a large area and there’s just one temple still standing the rest were knocked down by an earthquake in the 10th century. Many of the artifacts found here are on display in a Palermo museum so I guess we are going the wrong direction. But regardless there is much to see and admire here. It is a very picturesque location right on the coast.

This is also a beachy town with a nice waterfront area. We had our supper looking out to the sea.
