Erice Historic Center
Erice Historic Center is a distinct Sicily stop. Stone lanes climb through a hill town above Trapani, the salt coast, and the Egadi Islands. Expect steep polished paving, cooler wind or cloud, and seasonal changes to cable-car service.
Stone lanes climb through a hill town above Trapani, the salt coast, and the Egadi Islands. Medieval gates, churches, courtyards, and sudden viewpoints unfold within a compact walled center.
