About Agrigento
Agrigento sits on a ridge above the Valley of the Temples, and its position on Sicily's southern coast makes it a natural base for full days spent among Greek ruins, Roman mosaics and Baroque hill towns. History-minded travellers can join a From Taormina: Valley of the Temples & Piazza Armerina by Coach for the island's two great archaeological set-pieces in one run, or head west on the Full-Day Excursion to Selinunte & Castelvetrano with Food Tasting to walk a Greek city that once rivalled Akragas itself.

Frequently asked questions
Agrigento's Valley of the Temples is a UNESCO site with some of the best-preserved Doric temples in the Greek world, so a guided day trip adds the chronology, cult practices and Carthaginian destruction that bare ruins do not explain.
