FURTHER INFORMATION :

Accomodation : The Hotel Villa Mokarta is 5 minutes from Salemi town centre. Parking available. There is no swimming pool. Breakfast is included.

Transport : We will be running an airport shuttle service from Trapani(TPS) and Palermo(PMO) airport to the Hotel Villa Mokarta.
If you prefer you can hire your own car from the airport and arrange your own transport.

Sicilian Highway Code : I do not think it exists !!.
Sicilians have their own rules on the road, do not be shocked if drivers disobey the highway code, drive directly behind your tailgate, flash their lights at you, toot their horns, make physical gesticulations in your direction or stop in the middle of the road for a chat with a passing friend. This is part of the Italian culture, if you can’t beat them join them. Rights of way and precedence tend to be established by the quickest, most aggressive driver. Roundabouts are particularly confusing as there appear to be no road rules. Please always drive with prudence and if in doubt do not hesitate, toot your horn and drive confidently.

Dinner : There is one official dinner on the Saturday evening included in the price. On the Sunday evening you are free to come and go as you wish or join the MIPC team in a local restaurant.

Clothing : The cobbled streets of Salemi after hundreds of years of use, can at times be slippery. Please wear appropriate sensible shoes.

Opening hours :
Shops and tourist attractions in accordance with the local Sicilian lifestyle tend to be open from 8:00am till 13:00pm. Lunch is generally from 13:00 – 16:00. Shops re-open after 16:00 and will remain open till 19:30.
