We’ll climb higher, and everything changes.
Erice is a medieval village perched 750 meters above sea level, and getting there is already part of the experience: the view over the coastline and the salt flats that suddenly appears before you will take your breath away.
Its narrow, silent stone streets feel almost like stepping into a nativity scene and it’s no coincidence that, in a hidden corner or a small museum, you may catch a glimpse of the ancient armor once worn during the centuries of battles fought to control this strategic location.
Before heading up to the village, we’ll stop at the Trapani Salt Flats: a place that few people in the world have the chance to experience up close, surrounded by windmills and stretches of water that shift in color with the sunlight, where salt is still harvested by hand just as it was centuries ago.
It’s not just a landscape: it’s an ancient craft that has survived through time and one of the experiences our guests remember the longest.
We’re sure you’ll be tempted by a delicious Genovese, a traditional sweet from Erice.
