About this activity

The tour offers two stops in Agrigento with a visit to the Valley of the Temples and the Scala dei Turchi

Let's start from Agrigento. The visit of the archaeological park, combined with the beauty of the landscapes visible from the hill of the Temples, will leave you fascinated. Impossible to forget this magical place full of beauty.

A few kilometers from Agrigento is the Scala dei Turchi, literally translated into Turkish scale. It is a dazzling white rock formation, rising from the crystal clear sea like giant steps. Walking along this gentle slope, overlooking the sea, will give you a unique experience.

Itinerary

Valle dei Templi

2 hours Admission not included

First stop of the tour: The Valley of the Temples, in Agrigento.

Unesco heritage, the Valley of the Temples houses a series of Doric Temples from the Hellenic period still in an exceptional state of conservation. Entering the archaeological site you will have the impression of having gone back in time and it is easy to imagine the beauty and refinement of the Hellenic era.

Among the park's monuments: the temple of Zeus, the most imposing of all; the temple of Heracles, the oldest; the temple of Concordia, the best preserved Doric sanctuary in the world because it was converted into a Christian sanctuary; the temple of Juno and, finally, the Temple of Dioscuri, symbol of the city of Agrigento. The area of the Agorà from the Greco-Roman age, the mosaic floors, the ancient aqueducts in the Hellenic Roman residential areas and the early Christian basilicas are also beautiful.
Agrigento

one hour

Stop for lunch. At your choice, the driver will take you to a restaurant for a break before the next stop.
Villa Romana del Casale

2 hours Admission not included

Second stage of the tour: Piazza Armerina.

The small town, surrounded by forests, woods and natural reserves, offers a splendid Baroque historical center, presided over by the imposing Cathedral, and the famous Villa Romana del Casale. The Villa, a UNESCO heritage site, is a magnificent rural residence which belonged to an exponent of the Roman senatorial aristocracy. The charm of the structure is mainly due to the wonderful floor and wall mosaics, which represent the lifestyle of the owner. The stylistic influences of African art are evident. The decorations distinguish different styles and narrative cycles: one dedicated to mythology and epic poems, the other attributed to the nature and scenes of everyday life of the Roman aristocracy.
