Happy to try the famous place of Erice in gastronomy! Super tasty and super friendly! Genovese super and the liquor ones too... a small place on the local Corso. We opted for a takeaway as the place is small. Strolling with a dolce... mmm

Giardini del Balio

No need to actually enter the castle (which closes at 2pm, at least on a Thursday). The garden around offers some fantastic views over the clifftop castle and the surrounding landscape! We drove up in a rental car, beautiful drive indeed!

Reviewed By U7041GSrobertt - Clermont, United States

We stopped in this shop only to buy only a small plate but once they told us that they ship to the US we began to look at their ceramic products from a more discerning point of view. We ended up purchasing a beautiful (and very unique) serving bowl and a matching platter for our daughter and her husband. The pottery is fully functional for food service and we were told is microwaveable. The pottery arrived promptly today; it was in excellent condition reflecting the fact that the items were quite carefully packed. For us this shop was a great find.

Chiesa San Cataldo

Reviewed By SallyF906 - Northampton, United Kingdom

You might just think 'another church' as there are so many in Erice but this one is well worth seeking out for the opportunity to visit the church that is accessed via it - Casa Santa San Francesco di Sales which has the most amazing frescoes on the walls and ceiling. The current church was built in C18th on the site of a Norman church dedicated to the Irish bishop, San Cataldo.

Porta Trapani

Reviewed By JulieM531 - Wellington, New Zealand

We looked out on this charming piece of history from our accommodation. Even though it is so old and narrow it is the main exit from this delightful small very old town. It actually marks the prestigious, historical entrance point. It leads to the first important site in the old town – Chiesa Matrice. Also from there uphill - Via Vittorio Emanuele leads to the town’s central point: Piazza Umberto I.
