Sicily cool - If you are in the area, this is a visit not to be missed especially if you want to gain 5 degrees of freshness with the coast. Go there by taking the funicular from trapani to avoid the search for a paid parking space with a limited number of spaces. A breathtaking 360 view. This medieval village has 60 churches to visit. A real concentrate of heritage and history. Minimum 4 hours to appreciate the maze.

Highly recommended! - The tour of Erice was a very nice experience for us. Alessio picked us up on time at the agreed meeting point in Trapani and then we were driven to Erice very comfortably. This saved us the crowded cable car from Trapani and the difficult search for a parking space in Erice. We learned a lot about Erice and gained an insight into the arts and crafts. There were also delicious treats.
