Recommended Reading & Guides to Prepare for Your Trip to Western Sicily
To best prepare for your journey to Western Sicily, I recommend a selection of useful guides and readings. As your travel agent, I suggest bringing along a comprehensive general guide to Sicily, such as Lonely Planet – Sicily or the Touring Club Italiano Red Guide – Sicily, both offering practical information, itineraries, maps, and excellent suggestions for restaurants and sightseeing.
To explore Palermo and the Selinunte area in more depth, pocket guides such as “Palermo and Western Sicily” by Mondadori or National Geographic travel guides are particularly helpful, combining history, culture, and stunning photography.
If you have a passion for history and archaeology, you may also enjoy reading a volume dedicated to the Greek sites of Sicily, for example books focusing on Selinunte and the Greek colonies, which will help you better understand the temples, ruins, and routes within the Archaeological Park.
Finally, to immerse yourself in the island’s atmosphere, you might choose a novel set in Sicily—such as the detective stories by Andrea Camilleri or the literary works of Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa—allowing you to experience the Sicilian soul, with its sea, traditions, Baroque heritage, and local flavors, even before arriving at your destination.
