Visit a delightful medieval village that has been dedicated to love since the days of antiquity.
A panoramic drive brings you to Erice, where a panoramic hilltop position offers views of Trapani, the sea and the Egadi Islands. Norman influence is apparent here in the stone buildings, towers and fortifications among the lovely English-style gardens scattered throughout the town.
During a walking tour of Erice, you'll stop at the famous La Pasticceria di Maria Grammatico. This enchanted little corner of Sicily offers an amazing taste the famous Sicilian Cannolo pastry -- a melt-in-your-mouth treat that would be easy to live on.
Take advantage of some free time to browse in the tempting little shops and boutiques that line the charming streets.
Please note: Wear comfortable walking shoes. Modest attire is required; knees, shoulders and midriffs must be covered. Shorts are not allowed. Due to its height (approximately 2,000 feet), the temperature in Erice can be colder than Trapani. Please dress appropriately.
