1. Valley of the Temples

Agrigento's Valley of the Temples is a stunning UNESCO World Heritage site that time-travels back in history to when Sicily was a Greek colony. The ruins of a handful of grand temples, along with other monuments and necropolises, are located on a ridge outside of Agrigento town.

A visit to the Valley of the Temples is an absolute must for any tourist visiting Agrigento. These temples are a true representation of Sicily's ancient, classic culture and there is something new to see around every corner.

3. Scala dei Turchi

The cliffs of the Scala dei Turchi are a natural wonder that stretches out along the Sicilian coast near Realmonte and Porto Empedocle. This unique and stunning rocky white cliff is made of limestone and marl, sedimentary rocks that have been worked on by waves and rain.

It is also called the “Stairs of the Turks” as it was a refuge for Turkish pirates in the past. It is located between Realmonte and Porto Empedocle and is a short drive from Agrigento on the south coast of Sicily.

The cliffs are a popular spot for swimming and sunbathing, as well as to take photos of the brightly reflected sunlight. During the summer, the beach is free and there is an excellent restaurant right by the cliffs.
