Travel: How to Reach Erice
- By Air. There are many flights from Rome to Palermo, a few from Milan apart from the international connections. Our bus will be available at Palermo airport on the afternoon of your arrival day, until 17.00, to drive you to Erice.
- By Train. Via Milan-Rome, you can reach Trapani directly. From Trapani, to reach Erice comfortably, a taxi is suggested. Confirm the price before taking the taxi.
- By Road. There are two possibilities:
- Drive along the Autostrada del Sole via Milan-Bologna-Florence-Rome-Naples-Villa San Giovanni (Reggio Calabria); then take a ferry-boat from Villa San Giovanni to Messina and drive to Erice (350 km from Messina).
- Take the ferry-boat either from Genoa or Naples to Palermo, and then drive on to Erice (100 km from Palermo). The places on the ferry-boat must be booked in advance
