Embark on a captivating journey through the heart of Sicily as we depart from your hotel and make our way to Agrigento, home to the renowned Temples Valley. Immerse yourself in a two-hour walking tour of this UNESCO World Heritage site (admission fee not included). Marvel at the majestic Temple of Hera, the grandeur of the Temple of Concordia, the strength of the Temple of Hercules, and the awe-inspiring Temple of Zeus. Legend has it that Agrigento was founded by Daedalus and Icarus, but historically, its origins date back to 582 B.C. under Rhodian-Cretan colonists.
Agrigento flourished under influential leaders like Phalarides and Theron, expanding its reach and becoming a hub of art and intellectual brilliance. In the 5th century B.C., the city's famous temples were erected, earning it the title of "the most beautiful of mortal cities" according to philosopher Empedocles. After an unforgettable afternoon, we return to Palermo, leaving you with cherished memories of Sicily's rich history and architectural wonders.
