The trip from Catania takes about 2 hours, while from Taormina it takes around 2 hours and 40 minutes, leading you to the world’s largest Greek Archaeological Park, a UNESCO heritage site since 1997. This stunning valley lies on a plateau near the sea and is remarkably well-preserved, featuring significant Doric temples from the Hellenic period.

Unique experience - A special Guide for a special day, even more, unique. Gabriele's professionalism, his experience, passion for his work, his availability, kindness, but above all humility have made the trip pleasant, the visit of the places perfect because guided from the point of view of a Sicilian very attentive to detail, to those particularities that make memorable the vacationer's passage in these places to visit in my opinion at least once in his life. History and culture mix with compelling curiosities about places and experiences, Gabriele's sympathy will accompany you during the journey, punctuated by his sensitive discretion. A trip definitely to remember.

Gabriele knows Sicily& can get you where you want to go in a timely manner! - Gabriele was over-the-top! He showed us some local spots for coffee & lunch, talked story about his homeland of Sicily & provided us information about these two areas we toured. I would highly recommend him! Grazie for the photos too!

Good trip - The Valley of the Temples is a lovely trip. The views from there are amazing and the temples are remarkable. The Scala Dei Turchi part was not as breathtaking as I was expecting. We had a 2 hour stop off here where you could either spend time on the beach or having lunch. The staircase itself is ok and good for a photo but once you’ve seen it there’s not much else to do there.

A day to remember! - We had a fantastic day with Gabriele! He was great at communicating, arrived early to pick us up at our hotel and gave great updates along the way.
It was a big day but his car was comfy and he has great taste in music! We absolutely loved the Valley of the Temples, and grateful Gabriele picked us up at the end rather than having to go back to the entrance. He had water for us too which was great as it was warm at the valley.
He took us to a cute wee bakery for lunch which was delicious and then on to Scala Dei Turchi. We went down on the beach and also up above the cliffs to take in the panoramic views.
We also enjoyed a spritz and the great music of a local bar with a couple of selfies (Gabriele is great at these!) before making the drive back to Naxos. All in all a fabulous day and would highly recommend Gabriele for any trips in the area. Thanks for a great day, Nicola and Charli

Exceptional Day with Gabriele! - Gabriele is an exceptional host and tour guide. We highly recommend his services.
We visited the Valley of the Temples and the Roman Palace. During our journey, he took us on an extraordinary tour of the countryside and saw Sicily from a local’s perspective! Gabriele is friendly, knowledgeable, and punctual.
