Reviews Marsala
Overall rating 8
Overall Guide :
Great place! Friendly people, great food and wine. Needs to have better bus information at their stops, the city center is walkable with great cafes to stop have a coffee and pastry. Early evenings loads of little bars to enjoy... more the local wine before dining at one of the many restaurants serving local cuisine.
Not to be missed
The coast of the point
, The Church at the city center
, Stroll down Via Roma
