- Beth JBrentwood, UK87 contributionsStayed in Agrigento to visit the Valley of the Temples and were not disappointed. Suggest parking at the east end "top" of the site, and the walk down and through the temple sites. P is relatively easy (we are both in our early 70s and managed with just a few rest stops). The whole area is beautifully maintained and there is a cafe along the way for refreshments. So very impressive. Do buy a guide book or check out info on your phone - there are info boards along the way but good idea to do some research to get an understanding of this really ancient site.Written March 14, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Giulia RCastelo Branco, Portugal16 contributionsMy best summer ever in Taormina. If you go there, this is a must visit!! The view is incredible and unforgettable. It was very hot that day however, so I would suggest very light clothes.
I went with my family (a couple of teenagers and adults, and even little kids), everyone enjoyed the walk!Written January 7, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It is in the countryside south of Enna near Piazza Armerina, a bit off the beaten track but when you get there it's well organised and with lots of parking. Small shopping/cafe area then you walk up to the villa which is very carefully preserved. There's an amazing array of rooms with mosaics depicting scenes from ancient stories, plus decorations of all sorts. Don't miss this if you are in southern Sicily.Written March 14, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- Higuma 2017Australia1,219 contributionsI'm kidding, of course. That eyesore beats belief. I don't know who made it and who commissioned it, but they must be related. The installation is already horrible per se and, inserted into that site it just ruins the ruins, if that makes any sense. If these guys wanted to fuse modern art into an archeological park, they should look at Siracusa, and how it can be of good taste and of staggering impact. Anyway, Segesta is a must see, particularly if you are visiting in winter. There's a good chance you will be in that majestic temple absolutely on your own.Written February 23, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- AlbertSalichsManresa, Spain24,101 contributionsParco Archeologico Selinunte is an archeological area located near Selinunte, a little town not so far from Castelvetrano, in Sicily Island. It is a zone, where you can see especially 3 classical Greek temples: one of them is very well preserved, really it is wonderful: you can easily imagine the real temple. The temple next to it is not very well preserved, but you can see some stones and columns on the floor. The last one, it is a bit far from the other two, and you can see a full row of columns. Also, it is possible to see the remains of a Greek town and buildings. In fact, if you follow the path walk to see all the sightseeing points, you can be here about half a day. Great place for greek-lovers!Written November 20, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- fssutton1Charleston, SC895 contributionsNice and clean unlike a lot of Sicily. A little expensive but nicely preserved with cafe and restrooms. The theatre on the hill is a little of a letdown due to all the wooden seats etc that have been installed for modern presentations/ showsWritten August 28, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- jef-grrGrand Rapids, MI412 contributionsI'd read reviews before visiting and my expectations were not high. There was a lot of confusing signage about where to buy tickets. Prominent signs pointed across the road. The ticket office near the gate was closed and pointed to another ticket office 200 meters on. The ticket felt very expensive at 17 euro for the park. We didn't do the combination with the archaeological museum due to lack of time. In general, I'd agree with most reviews that there could be more guidance and signage. Much of what was there was faded to the point of being difficult to read. But the paths through the cave area were beautiful and the art by Ivan Mitoraj throughout the park really brought it to life. The Greek theater was a bit disappointing. As others have said, there was a lot of construction building the stage for summer concerts and the orchestra view was mostly obscured by that. Overall, it felt like it could use a lot better management. But I'm glad we went. The views over the sea from the top of the theater are amazing.Written March 3, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Leif BPietarsaari, Finland3,058 contributionsToday we visited the charming montain village Erice. It was nice to walk trough the narrow streets of one of the most beautiful villages in Italy, at it says. The symbol of Erice is the Castello di Venere, built by the Normans. When building it, they used materials from the Temple of Venere Ericina from which it takes its name. Unfortunatily it is now closed, so we could only see it at the outside.Written May 28, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Dimitris LSydney, Australia54,382 contributionsThe Temple of Apollo (Tempio di Apollo) dates to the 6th century BC. Over time it has had quite an interesting history. Its role changed several times from a Greek Temple to a Byzantine church, an Arab mosque, a Norman church and Spanish military barracks! Now it has resurfaced but all that remains are a few rocks.Written January 3, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- AlbertSalichsManresa, Spain24,101 contributionsTemplos di Giunone is the first Greek temple you can see, when you go to the Temples Valleys, in the surroundings of Agrigento, in the South of Sicily. Really, it is wonderful and it is for me the first Greek temple I see out of Greece, Turkey and the Italian Peninsula. It is a very well preserved temple, where you can see his silhouette and a lot of columns. Really great! The best beginning of the visit!

Sometimes you have to climb to its top, other times you have to descend to the river in order to continue further. The tour is difficult, but if you choose your own pace, a beautiful landscape awaits you.Written May 15, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- AlbertSalichsManresa, Spain24,101 contributionsTeatro Greco Di Segesta are the remains of a classical Greek amphitheater and it is located in an archeological area not far from Calatafimi-Segesta town. It is located in a high position, so you can see wonderful views from the place. The amphitheater is very well preserved: you can see almost all. In fact, nowadays it is used as a theater and ad concert place. It is awesome! Really, awesome remains of the Greek period! Top for people, who enjoy this era, and also for children!

It is the most poorly preserved temple of the three (Concordia Temple and June Temple), but you can only see some columns and great views with some trees. Really, wonderful.

The water is less clean than other beaches on the Agrigentino coast. There are several free parking lots near the beach. Recommended for a regenerating break.Written August 7, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
