Explore the Valley of the Temples - UNESCO World Heritage site

Walk among the ancient Greek ruins and consider the history - Temple of Concordia is a standout. We chose an evening tour to escape the intensity of the summer heat, and it proved to be the perfect decision.

Tickets are here:  Valley dei Templi ticket office. Choose a ticket with a guide if you prefer.  Visiting the site is a must do if you are in Agrigento,

Visit the Archaeological Museum

Discover artifacts and learn about the history of Agrigento.  It gives you a deeper understanding of the area's past.

The Cathedral - San Gerlando

Simply stunning.  The ceiling and stained glass are incredible.

Siculiana Marina - a hidden treat

From the Siculiana village, the road leads down to the marina, where you can park, but be prepared for a bit of a walk.  The beach reveals limestone cliffs that shimmer with an almost Swarovski-like sparkle, shaped over centuries by sea and weather. It’s a beautiful sight — take the time to go, because this is something you truly won’t want to miss.

Agrigento 

• The historic centre is high up in Agrigento - the view from the top is much wider than you would have anticipated.

• If you’ve got a car, head to Scala dei Turchi (The Turkish Steps) which a short drive from Agrigento. The white cliffs and crystal-clear water are incredible.  We look like ants compared to this natural wonder, which is also a UNESCO site.  To minimise the impact from tourists, there is now a ticket system to go onto the steps.  Find more here: Scala dei Turchi ticket office.
