La Pasticceria Maria Grammatico

Reviewed By Aburel - Bucharest, Romania

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

The Funiculare provided us with an excellent way to visit Erice from Trapani w/out having the typical parking problems (there is plenty parking space at the base); the views are amazing. While each cabin seats 8, I would say that 6 fit comfortably; no waiting line at all, it runs for long hours.

Chiesa Madre - Duomo di Erice

Reviewed By BrigitteGolightly

Erice is just that kind of town. Nothing takes your breath away but everything exudes such elegance and charm, you just want to let it seep in. Chiesa Madre is another of such example. The exterior takes you back centuries and reminds you of a distant unadorned past. However, step inside and the intricate gothic lacework on the ceiling is a delight to the soul. it is well worth paying 6 euros to do the few key look outs and churches. just walking from one small church to another and counting the stones along the paved lanes is one simple joy in Erice. Watch out for the slippery stones.

Giardini del Balio

Reviewed By juddermann - County Durham, United Kingdom

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!

Not sure it this site it's always open, but I think it is a fabulous view over Erice if the weather is clear. We had rain, so we did not consider going up :(

A stroll through Erice is a pleasant one, specially if you go off season. Explore the alleys and the churches and enjoy this beautiful medieval town. There is a combined ticket that allows you to enter 5 or 6 different sites for 10 eur only.

Castello di Venere

Reviewed By V8981UNdanm - Tel Aviv, Israel

Absolutely stunning Landscapes, don't miss this place If you've paid the 9euros for the round trip with cable car, and if you're up there then missing this spot would be a massive Fomo. You can reach it strolling in the narrow and beautiful streets of this village and eventually get there at the end of the village, or go straight from the Cable car by taking the southern street boarding the village to its end. You'll reach then 3 interesting places: the Garden of Balio, the Castello del Balio o Pepoli and last the Castello di Venere with this spot to see the landscapes tens of kilometers around. Really beautiful and actually might be more the purpose of this trip than the village itself.

Torretta Pepoli

Reviewed By petersM4803HZ - Helsinki, Finland

The Tower of Pepoli is well worth a visit. When we went it seemed that many other visitors bypassed it (maybe because it is a step ramp in and out), but we were very pleased we went it. It has been beautifully restored and if that isn't enough, the 360 degree views will delight you.
