Here are my top May 8-9 weekend picks for the best manmade temple, castle, cobblestone street, city street and outdoor theater in northwestern Sicily.
Built in 430 BC, this Doric temple in Segesta wins columns up.
It's the gate that got me!
Gotta love this municipal building in Trapani's medieval district.
I imagined "The Odyssey" being performed in Segesta's 3rd century BC theater.

Joel Stratte-McClure has been a global trekker since the 1970s. He lived in France for over 30 years, working as a journalist, before he turned his attention to a unique life-time-project of walking the shores of the Mediterranean. The first 4,401 kilometers are explored in his inspirational and entertaining first book "The Idiot and the Odyssey: Walking the Mediterranean." The next 4,401 kilometers are covered in the gods-filled sequel, "The Idiot and the Odyssey II: Myth, Madness and Magic on the Mediterranean,” published on Valentine's Day 2013. The last 4,401 kilometers will be discussed in the last book of the trilogy currently entitled "The Idiot and the Odyssey III: Alexander the Great Walks the Mediterranean."
