Castellammare del Golfo is wonderfully positioned in a bay approx. 65 km west of Palermo. Earlier it was an important centre for tuna fishing but today it is known for its beautiful location.
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.
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.
