The Agrigento and Scala dei Turchi tour will take you to the discovery of wonderful places rich in ancient history and timeless charm.

The Valley of the Temples in Agrigento, evidence of the passage of the Hellenistic culture in Sicily, extends on a hill kissed by the sun and overlooking the sea, surrounded by fragrant almond and olive trees.
The site, a UNESCO heritage site since 1997, bears witness to a florid and brilliant era of a rich and disputed Sicily.

Located a few minutes from the Valley of the Temples, between Porto Empedocle and Realmonte, is the famous Scala dei Turchi, a spectacular white limestone structure that plunges into the waters of the crystal clear sea. Its name is due to the incursions of ancient Arab and Saracen pirates, who found an ideal place to land in the natural gulf. Access from the beach will allow a beautiful walk until you reach La Scala, defined as one of the most beautiful natural places in Sicily.

I did this tour. It was really nice. I was picked up at the hotel and driven across the island. The locations were beautiful. The history was great. The whole thing was very enjoyable. And the locations were beyond great.

Mirko did fantastic job. If I was to do the day again I would take a packed lunch and go directly to the Temples in the afternoon instead of stopping for food. It needs at least 2 hours to see everything.

Our driver Erik was fantastic- very professional, kind and helpful. We had a wonderful day as a family of 8 and the car service felt very luxurious with large windows to enjoy the view and great air conditioning on a hot day! Loved the viewpoint for photos, The Valley of the Temples was very impressive and Erik had booked us into a fantastic Michelin recommended restaurant for one of the best meals we had on holiday. All in all, excellent experience!
