Erice
Travel Guide Europe Italy Sicily Erice
Introduction
Erice is called a city but seems more like a hill-top village. It is thousands of feet above Trapani and in the summer the relative cool must be heavenly. However it is great in anything other than mist for its superlative views. Sadly it does get more than its share of mist.
Sights and Activities
The streets are a delight. Unlike so much of Sicily the general impression is not ruined by ugly blocks of flats.
- Two Norman castles are stunning.
- The Duomo, the Mother Church and a number of other churches are well worth seeing.
- The viewsover the coast and over the city of Trapani are excellent.
- The streets and shops are well owrth several wanders
Events and Festivals
Getting There
There is an aerial runway from Trapani open most of the year and local buses also run between the two towns. Any trip out of Erice requires getting to Trapani first.
