The guided tour starts from the Teatro Massimo (main stairs) in Palermo, where a local guide will welcome you to Sicily. Departure to Agrigento (1h45 drive) and guided visit to its Archaeological site.
The tour of the Archaeological park starts with the Temple of Hera (Juno) built at the very top of the hill. Then we’ll walk for about one mile downhill and stop along the main path to admire the city fortifications and Byzantine arcosolia (Byzantine tombs), the Temple of Concordia, the Temple of Herakles, the Temple of Zeus and the Sanctuary of Chtonian Deities (Temple of Castor and Pollux).
Our guide will help you to discover the secrets behind their construction by taking a closer look to the civilization that produced them and getting to know the personages who made Akragas "the most beautiful of mortal cities". Free time for a light lunch and for some shopping.
At the end of the visit, we’ll admire the suggestive Camilleri’s literary places, Porto Empedocle and Scala dei Turchi.
