    Erice has been one of my favorite places I’ve visited in Sicily since living here! We visited during the week of Christmas and it was something straight out of a movie. Decorated beautiful and such a cute little market in the city square!

      Hey Kristyn, what part of Sicily do you live in? I moved my family from Canada to Sicily three years ago. We're about an hours drive from Erice living in a little town called Santa Ninfa.

    I have been to Erice 3 times in the last 8 years and have taken both the cable car and driven up to the town. They are both great ways to get there but the drive up can allow you to stop at different vistas so that you can get out and take some beautiful pics for your memories. Either way they are both great to do..

      Ciao! Crazy to find someone with the same name in these comments. Where are you from? I am originally from Wisconsin, USA but now live in Florence, Italy. I am looking to move to Sicily in the spring, possibly to Castellamare del Golfo. It sounds like you are familiar with Sicily. Where might you suggest to live there long term? Again, so funny to see someone with the same name here. I look forward to hearing back from you. Paul in Firenze

    Whenever I go to a new town or village in Italy, as soon as I check in and and drop my bags, first thing I do is wander around and find all the bakeries / pasticcerias. As I know there’s going to be many a visit during my stay 😋

    I was there in July 1999. It was scorching hot and sunny but cool and misty in Erice. You two explored much more than we did and it is evident a lot has been restored and updated since 1999. I am pretty sure there wasn't a funicular back then. Very nice video as always. Looking forward to Ortigia and Siracusa.

    I was going to say how could you visit Erice without visiting the pastry shop of Maria Grammatica but you saved it for last. I actually got a chance to meet her when I was there. She is as delightful as the pastry in her shop.

    You missed the rear of the pasticceria , there is a beautiful space with garden and place to eat seated at 'tavolini'. A suggestion for the next region to visit when the weather turn warmer: Tuscany. About the same quantity of things to see (and eat,drink) as Sicily!

    • @TheGlobalExpats
      @TheGlobalExpats  2 роки тому

      We saw the beautiful space outdoors but unfortunately it was raining and wet when we were there, so the outside was closed 😓 Thank you, we should be exploring Tuscany soon! 🥰

    I have been there for two weeks during June 2017. Really incredible place. This video introduced me to some historical places which I was not familiar with. Papoli Castle was then the place of eternal peace for me.
    The town is famous for some unique wines as well. Moreover, different food courts should had covered in video.

      I got stuck on one of the narrow roads because someone parked poorly and had to drive in reverse for a while. Crazy time. All this to say, I’m glad that you guys were able to show me more than I was able to see as I left shortly after my driving adventures to see Trapani.
