The Journey
Agrigento Valley of the Temples
Journey through the Agrigento Valley of the Temples, a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of the most outstanding examples of Greater Greece art and architecture. Behold the remarkably preserved Temple of Concordia, a testament to ancient Greek ingenuity. Wander amidst the ruins of other temples dedicated to deities like Hera, Heracles, and Zeus, each whispering tales of a glorious past. Experience the evocative atmosphere as you explore this archaeological park, a landscape dotted with almond trees and olive groves that once formed the heart of the ancient city of Akragas. The panoramic views and the palpable sense of history make this a must-see destination for any traveler to Sicily.
Turkish Steps (Scala dei Turchi)
Discover the Scala dei Turchi, or Turkish Steps, a dazzling white cliff sculpted by nature into a dramatic staircase along Sicily's coast. This geological wonder, formed by marl, a soft limestone, offers a breathtaking spectacle as it plunges into the turquoise waters of the Mediterranean Sea. Legend has it that Saracen pirates (erroneously referred to as Turks) found refuge here, hence the name. Ascend the smooth, undulating steps and bask in the Sicilian sun while admiring the stunning coastal vistas. The contrast between the bright white rock, the azure sea, and the clear blue sky creates a picture-perfect scene, making it an unforgettable highlight of your Sicilian adventure. Be sure to bring your camera to capture the unique beauty of this natural landmark.
