Book a transfer from Palermo to Agrigento — from Sicily's exuberant capital to one of the ancient world's greatest cities, home to the spectacular Valley of the Temples, the finest Greek ruins outside of Greece itself.
The 130 km journey takes 2 to 2.5 hours heading south through the mountainous Sicilian interior, passing rural villages, olive groves, and wheat fields before descending to the ridge above the Mediterranean where the ancient temples stand in golden splendor.
Agrigento's Valley of the Temples is one of the most extraordinary archaeological sites in the world — a UNESCO World Heritage ridge lined with remarkably preserved 5th-century BC Greek temples overlooking the Mediterranean. The Temple of Concordia is one of the best-preserved Greek temples anywhere, rivaling the Parthenon. The temples of Juno, Heracles, and Zeus (which would have been the largest Greek temple ever built), the archaeological museum, and the ancient agora paint a vivid picture of ancient Akragas, which the poet Pindar called "the most beautiful of mortal cities." The medieval old town above, with its narrow streets and Norman cathedral, adds another layer to this remarkable site.
