Tour Overview
The Valley of the Temples in Agrigento is the largest archaeological site in the world. This Sicilian plateau spans 1,300 hectares of sun-kissed history, where some of the most remarkable ruins of the ancient Greek and Byzantine empires still stand. Open the centuries and discover these wonders of antiquity overlooking the sparkling Mediterranean.
Embrace the coastline and explore a land of ancient empires and time-worn ruins in Agrigento. Discover every inch rich in history of this heritage site.
A key point is the Temple of Concordia, one of the best-preserved Greek temples in the world. But there's so much more to see here. Touch the twisted, gnarled bark of an 800-year-old olive tree, visit the Temple of Hera, where the ancients made sacrifices to the queen of the gods, and learn why the centuries have been less kind to the temple of poor, old Zeus. If you still have time, choose to stroll through the idyllic Kolymbetra Gardens.
The Valley of the Temples may not technically be a valley, but the "temples" part is definitely covered!
