Medieval Erice and Sicilian Pastry
Medieval Erice and Sicilian Pastry
Encounter Erice, a medieval hilltop village above Trapani, on an engaging walking tour combined with a tasting of traditional Sicilian pastries. Depart the pier by coach and travel inland to Erice, ascending to a panoramic setting overlooking Trapani, the Mediterranean Sea, and the Egadi Islands. Once there, discover a town shaped by Norman rule, where towers, fortifications, and English-style gardens reflect centuries of layered history within a compact historic center.
Explore Erice on foot with your guide, followed by time to wander independently along its cobbled streets and browse local shops. A highlight of the visit is a stop at the renowned Grammatico pastry shop, where you will sample locally made cookies prepared according to traditional recipes. On the return journey to the pier, enjoy a brief orientation drive through the famous salt pans (saline) and the historic center of Trapani before re-embarking the yacht.
