The most classical tour.
The so-called “Valley of the Temples” is actually a hill, which preserves the remains of a dozen of Greek temples built some 2,500 years ago.
The archaeological park is extensive and considered so significant UNESCO declared it a World Heritage site in 1997.
With an alluring walk on the ridge of the hill, you will enjoy the breathtaking panoramas and the Greek Temples, which are among the most compelling and symbolic in the world. Above all, those that dramatically stand out for their beauty are those of Hera, Concordia, Juno ad Zeus.
We will understand how the city of Agrigento was organized and run and, thanks to our reconstructions, we will be able to imagine its original beauty and the impression it provoked on ancient visitors. We will also visit and discuss the necropolis. The tour is therefore a great occasion to understand the ancient Greek building techniques, religion, funeral habits and culture of the Greeks of Sicily.
On request, we can also extend the tour to the Archaeological Museum, the Hellenistic Quarter and/or the Kolymbetra Garden.
