Built in 430 BC, this is one of the best-preserved Greek Temples located outside of Greece.

The name of the temple we owe it due to one of the first Sicilian historians Tommaso Fazello. However, to whom this temple was actually dedicated, we don`t know until now. The sad state of the neighbors in the valley suggests that the temple of Concordia had to go through a lot to remain in the beautiful form as it is now. Along with the Parthenon, it is the best-preserved Doric temple in the world. It was necessary to survive the capture of Acragas by the Carthaginians in 406, the first and second Punic wars in the third century BC, the barbarian invasions in the fifth century AD, and the endless wars in Sicily in the middle ages. And, finally, it was necessary to protect themselves from the locals, who pulled apart almost all of ancient Rome. They were more danderous for antique temple than the barbarians. Concordia was lucky here. It was called the Church and it protected from encroachments of fans to get hold of antique building materials. Exactly the same saved the Pantheon in Rome. The Concordia temple is beautiful. From all sides. At any time of the day. In the evening, it is illuminated, but I didn`t go here a second time.

This region is one of the most important archeological sites in the world with many great temples such as Hera (Juno,) Lacinia, Concordia, Heracles (Hercules) and Olympian Zeus (Jupiter,) all dramatically perched along a long rocky scarp.

This is an extremely well preserved set of ancient Greek temples that you can visit over a mile long walk. Best thing to do is to park yoru car at the bottom of the valley; at the exit of the site. Then take a local taxi (3 Euros/person) to the top of the site, the main entrance, where fro about an entrance fee of $13.50; you can start at the top temple and walk leisurely down to the bottom sites, exploding multiple temples and ruins in great shape. Lots of tourists here, but well worth the visit. It will take several hours to complete this, so plan for a min half day here. A must do in Sicily.

If I go back to Agrigento it's because I want to visit this magnificent garden again with all the 560 orange trees. And next time I want to visit the garden in March the orange trees are in bloom.

It has become over time a tourist attraction both for the singularity of the cliff, white in color and the peculiar shapes, and following the popularity acquired by novels starring the commissioner Montalbano written by the writer empedoclino Andrea Camilleri, in which such places are cited country commissioner, to be framed with Porto Empedocle..

When you walk on Scala dei Turchi you think for a moment that you are Arizona or in Iceland... all so white marble rock rich of geological signs where the water arrived in the different period, really breathtaking also a bit dangerous... pay attention when you walk all around! Best timing very early in the morning to avoid people or late afternoon to admire the sunset! Highly recommended!

A lovely sandy beach which is accessed through a nature reserve. The access road is unmade and extremely bumpy, however don’t be put off! At the end is a car park and a short walk to a beautiful sandy beach. The sea is idyllic, there are a few coves to “explore”. We were a party of 8 - teenagers and younger children with us. There are no restaurants or shops, however a portable toilet was in the car park and there was a “snack van” with pizza, ice cream and drinks. Definitely recommend a day here!
