For security reasons, there are no left luggage lockers at any train station in Italy. Some of the larger stations have a staffed baggage deposit office but, according to the Trenitalia web site, Agrigento is not one of them.

Even on a return visit several years later, we found enough to see at Agrigento to make us pleased we'd again decided to stop over for a night - which solved the luggage problem.

Both times though I failed to get up for the 'dawn over the temples' photo!

Ciao pj_from_sg,

Although the Trenitalia website doesn’t list Agrigento as a city with “left luggage storage” (deposito bagagli), there is indeed “left luggage” storage at the Agrigento train station, so if staying the night in Agrigento doesn’t accommodate your schedule, you would have no problem visiting Agrigento for the day.

Kind regards,

Thank you folks. the different answers i got here which is exactly what i am worrying abt.

i would have prefer to leave for Catania direct from Agrigento after i complete Valley of Temples tour so that i can have ample rest before i start Mt Etna tour the next day.

i guess i could only see for myself. :)

Thanks sydneynick – The Trenitalia site has not been updated. I have notified a Trenitalia agent in Rome who said he would notify Trenitalia. Siracusa also has left luggage storage, and that too isn’t indicted on the Trenitalia site.

You should have no problems leaving for Catania after you complete the Valley of the Temples tour pj_from_sg – There is indeed left luggage storage at the Agrigento train station. It is an automated system with machines.

You could take Trenitalia or the SAIS bus service from Agrigento to Catania.
