where to stop en route from Segesta to Palermo

We will be driving from Segesta to Palermo in October. Our plan was to stop in Erice, but the funicular will be closed af that time. So we would like suggestions for an interesting town with nice scenery (& good restaurants) for a short stop (2 hours) before dropping off our rental car at Palermo airport. Castellammare del Golfo or another seaside town might work. Any suggestions? Grazie!

You can drive to the top of Erice. No need for the funicular. I’ve never taken the funicular and the drive up is on a nice highway. There are curves but if you know how to rotate a steering wheel it’s an easy drive.
