The tour begins with pick up from the hotel and transfer to Agrigento. First you will visit the famous Temples Valley (Valle dei Templi), a UNESCO world heritage site, where among the blossoming almond trees, the ruins of the ancient Akragas rise up, the one that was described as “the most beautiful town built by mortals” by the greek author Pindaro.

The temples were built in the V century B.C. and the best preserved is the “Tempio della Concordia” whose look is so close to the Athen’s Partenone, with its yellow gold columns.

Right after the visit of the archeological area, you will have a walk along the Via Atenea, the new city centre of Agrigento, where you could have a lunch break and take a coffee with the statue of Andrea Camilleri.

Leaving Agrigento, you will have the chance to see the most astonishing sicilian white marl cliffs, the so-called Turkish steps (aka Scala dei Turchi). Forged by the waves and the wind in millions of years, The Scala dei Turchi was used by the Saracen pirates to easily reach the southern coastal sicilian villages. Today, the Scala dei Turchi is a candidate to become a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
