Agrigento
About the destination
The Valley of the Temples at Agrigento is one of the best-preserved examples of ancient Greek architecture in the world — a ridge of Doric temples standing above almond-blossom terraces overlooking the Mediterranean. Founded as Akragas in 580 BC, the city was one of the largest in the ancient world. Today the archaeological park is a UNESCO World Heritage site that rewards a full day's exploration, particularly at golden hour or during the almond blossom festival in February.
