A beachy historic spot in Sicily
Sicily’s extraordinary Valley of the Temples is just one of many fascinating things you’ll see on your Agrigento holidays. These huge colonnaded buildings date back more than 2,000 years, when Sicily was a colony of ancient Greece. Set amid Mediterranean scrub, the citrus and almond-scented air makes the experience even more special.
The town of Agrigento itself has a medieval centre. Stroll along the elegant boulevards and stop in at the restaurants and boutiques of Via Atenea and Viale della Vittoria, which overlook rolling countryside and the sea. Like elsewhere in Sicily, Agrigento lives to eat, and the stuffed sardines and ricotta ice cream are must-tries. Beach lovers will be in heaven, too – long white sands stretch along the coastline in both directions. Combining ancient splendours, beautiful beaches and fantastic food, holidays to Agrigento combine just about everything that’s spectacular about Sicily into one easy trip.
