Time travel back to ancient Greece with a visit to the magnificent temples of Agrigento

Founded by Greek colonists in 581 AD, Agrigento is a history-packed town on the southern coast of Sicily and is home to one of the island’s major attractions: the Valley of the Temples. This vast archeological site includes some of the finest and best-preserved Greek remnants in the world. The guide will take you on a fascinating stroll around the archeological ruins, including the eight pillars of the Temple of Hercules, the oldest complex dating from the 6th century BC, and the beautiful Temple of Concord, which is the best-preserved Greek temple currently in existence. Other notable shrines are the Temple of Juno, which offers stunning views over the valley, and the colossal Temple of Jupiter.
