Wonderful Sicily - Wonderful archaeological park an2 steps from the sea with remains of temples necropolis and beautiful acropolis. You can visit on foot, renting bicycles or with the internal shuttle service. I recommend spending at least half a day at the visit given the breadth.

Wonderful experience! - Wonderful place, walking among these archaeological finds I highly Recommendation. There are two points not to be missed, the first temple you see and the one overlooking the sea. Undoubtedly it tries to understand why they managed to create these wonders with the means they possessed at the time. You can make the visit with a Guide, on your own with self-guide to understand each structure and also rent bicycles. If you are too tired in front of the museum you will find a sort of train that will take you to the temple overlooking the sea and when you wish to return to your car a trennino of bright colors will leave you in the exit. Experience to do absolutely

The welcome, the fantastic site maintenance operation, the expertise - A sincere thanks to the Archaeological Park of Selinunte At the end of my visit to the magnificent Archaeological Park of Selinunte, I would like to express my sincerest gratitude to the staff, reception service and ticketing staff. My applause goes out to all of you for the exceptional care and attention you show every day. Care of decorum and exemplary cleanliness It is absolutely not obvious that an archaeological park of such importance and vastness maintains such a high level of decorum and cleanliness. I could appreciate the impeccable cleanliness of every corner of the park, from the paths to the rest areas, to the bathrooms, always neat and well maintained. I found no brush, cigarette butts or papers on the floor: everything is taken care of in every detail. Welcome with a smile The smile of the staff is something that particularly impressed me. Every member of staff, from the reception to the caretakers, conveys a sense of joy and passion for their work, making the visitor experience even more enjoyable. It is a pleasure to be able to say that the Archaeological Park of Selinunte travels beyond the limits of temporality and physicality of time, approaching with great strides towards a perfection that we often imagine only in areas very far from us. An example of excellence The management and maintenance of the Archaeological Park of Selinunte are an example of excellence and dedication. Thanks to your commitment, this place not only preserves its priceless historical heritage, but also offers a comfortable and serene visiting experience, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the beauty and history of ancient Selinunte. Conclusion I want to thank once again all the park staff for their amazing work. Your dedication and professionalism make the Archaeological Park of Selinunte a unique place, where past and present meet in perfect harmony. Keep it up, and know that your efforts are deeply appreciated by all those lucky enough to visit this wonderful site. Thank you very much.

Beautiful tour !! - I think the archaeological park of Selinunte is one of the most beautiful things we have seen in all of Sicily. Extremely suggestive and really well cared for. I suggest to buy the ticket including the transport by train because it is quite a long walk on foot

Danger Will Robinson - For the benefit of other travelers, I must clarify that the private driver is not bilingual. He spoke a mixture of roughly 97% Italian and 3% English. Communication was very challenging. He dropped us off at the Cave parking area, pointed in a direction, and said ticket. We were the only people there. Signage was space at best. The two workers at the ticket building spoke only Italian (appropriately). They pointed us to a dirt road into nothingness. At this point already, the trip was such a bust that all we could do is stop in our tracks and bend over laughing. Our driver then took us to the archaeological park, opened our car doors onto the sidewalk at the entrance, and said See You in 3 Hour. The first 25 minutes there were spent in line for tickets. The whole experience was ridiculous. I highly recommend other travelers avoid it.
