"A town with a view" Erice Things to Do Tip by Alice-Kees

Well, what to say about Erice? We got there one late afternoon (or was it early evening?) when all the tour buses were heading out and we were on our way back from touring the area of Trapani. Our guide book told us "not to miss Erice on any account", so here we were.

Of course, there was too little time to get a good impression of the town, sights and restaurants were closing down and a fierce wind was rising. So may be we were just not here at a good time...

In the end we felt that should we have given this place a miss, there would have been a dozen other places in Sicily to make up for it. But if you're in the area, and you have some few hours to spend, don't hesitate to drive your car up the mountain and go see for your self why this medieval town is worth your time.
