Taking the E90 and the A29, this is the fastest way to get from between Palermo and Paceco.

After getting on the E90, drive for 38 miles (52 km) before taking the Trapani/Aeroporto Birgi exit and continuing onto the A29. On the A29, watch out for the 'Marsala' exit. Once you take the exit, drive for 5 minutes across the SS115 to get to Paceco's center.
