Erice is a peaceful and charming town about 800 metres above sea level, with a wonderful medieval atmosphere. Wandering around the town makes you almost feel that you have time traveled to another era.
Selinunte is famous for its impressive archaeological park and the ruins, and rightly so. Some of the ruins from the Greek era on Sicily are extremely well preserved. Selinunte has often stood in the shadow of the Valley of the Temples in Agrigento, but it really deserves just as much recognition.
The town is fascinating and there is lots of evidence of its fantastic history and glory days. If you walk round the streets, there are lots of interesting things to see, and a surprising variety of architectural styles.
