Highlights
  • Valle dei Templi - since 1997 it has been registered on the UNESCO World Heritage List. The largest archaeological site in the world extending over 1300 hectares and most famous in Sicily dates back to the Hellenic period. It corresponds to the monumental area of the ancient city of Akragas, characterized by the exceptional state of conservation and a series of important Doric temples. To be precise, ten temples dedicated to the gods of Magna Grecia.
  • Agrigento - Agrigento is a magnificent city of about 60,000 inhabitants located on two adjoining hills, the Girgenti hill and the Atenea cliff, located just four kilometers from the southern coast of the island. It is a thousand-year-old city that has changed four names in its history: Akagras for the Greeks, Agrigentum for the Romans, Kerkent for the Arabs and Girgenti for the Normans.

Agrigento embodies its history, and its streets, alleys where Greek and Roman testimonies are scattered in every corner of this splendid city, the province of origin of two great Italian authors of the twentieth century, Luigi Pirandello and Leonardo Sciascia.

  • Scala dei Turchi - La Scala is made up of Trubi, a marl with a characteristic pure white colour. This cliff with a singular appearance stands between two beaches of fine sand and has a wavy and irregular shape, with lines that are not harsh but gentle and rounded. To access it, proceed along the coast and climb up a slope resembling a large natural limestone staircase. Once you reach the top of the cliff, the visible landscape embraces the Agrigento coast up to Capo Rossello.

Scala dei Turchi is a geologically known site also because it is possible to recognize in a very simple way the cyclicities linked to the variation of the orbital parameters. In particular, it is possible to correlate the variations of insolation with cycles of an average of 21,000 years and the variations of eccentricity of the orbit with cycles of an average of 100,000 years. This has made it possible to carry out datings with orders of error of more than thousands of years

Perfect day! - What a nice ride and Antonino is so kind! He took me everywhere as was on the itinerary. I love going on a solo tour. Thank you for a great, hassle free day!

Great service. - Very prompt and professional service. Antonio assigned a colleague, Carmelo, to drive us, but called to check in several time during the trip. Carmelo is such a gentleman, took good care of us all the way. Highly recommend!

Excellent service and a lovely day in western Sicily - Antonio picked us up from our accommodation right on time. He was friendly and welcoming from the start. His vehicle was spotlessly clean. Throughout the day Antonino kept checking that the day was going as we hoped and keeping in contact when he dropped us off at sites. We wouldn’t have been able to explore this part of Sicily on our own without this transport and Antonino’s calm manner and great service.

A beautiful historic site - We were picked up at our hotel by Antonino. The tour was self-directed and although we chose not to have an audio guide I would recommend doing so. There was a lot of uphill walking with uneven surfaces-this could be a challenge for anyone with mobility issues. We discovered there is no short exit route (at least that we could find) so be prepared to spend a minimum of 90 minutes. It is an amazing site with wonderful Greek ruins and temples. Antonino dropped us off at Al Porticcoio for a delish lunch break before we continued on to Scala dei Turchi. Two of our group walked down to the beach while the rest of us ate lemon gelato and took photos of this beautiful area. We were very happy with the tour and especially Antonino our driver who was superb navigating the traffic in Palermo
