Driving to Erice
Driving to Erice from the main Italian cities (Rome, Milan or Naples which is connected to other European cities) can be a long trip. It can be a chance to tour Italy and Sicily, but it needs careful planning. Distances (driving the Autostrade network) are
- Milan - Rome: 560km
- Rome - Naples: 210km
- Naples - Villa San Giovanni (ferry to Messina/Sicily): ~500km
- Messina - Erice: ~300km
Cars are not allowed to enter the historical centre. You therefore must find a parking space outside the ancient walls of Erice. Paying at the cash machine could be expensive. However, at the parking lot located at “Porta Trapani” you can buy a 7 day permit (12€/week, 1 week minimum) but you must have a document certifying that during the given period you are attending a Workshop at the Ettore Majorana Centre. If needed the organizers will provide you with such a document. Also a photocopy of the vehicle certificate is required.
