Erice, Sicily - Part II. . . . . . . .


Venus Castle
The Castle of Erice was built during the Norman domination in the place where there was already a pagan temple dedicated to Venus.



Looking out across the beautiful panoramic landscape of the island.



The small cobbled streets were lined with shops, restaurants and cafes.




High above that magnificent blue Mediterranean Sea looking down on Trapani.



Here you can see the winding road our tour bus took up the hillside -  cable car
not running in early morning - however we did return by the cable car so
 had two very different journeys, both of which were spectacular.





The wildflowers were magnificent here.



Coming soon - the olive oil farm and a delicious lunch.
