- San Leone - Agrigento is undoubtedly one of the most stunning cities globally, a highly visited symbol of antiquity with its enchanting Valley of the Temples. However, Agrigento offers more than just culture and history. Its beauty extends beyond its exceptional archaeological heritage to its natural surroundings. The lovely beach of San Leone features soft golden sand, stretching for kilometers along sandy shores kissed by a magnificent sea, with deep blue hues and crystal-clear waters. Its promenade (Falcone and Borsellino) is adorned with tall palm trees lining the path. Nearby, visitors can find a variety of services, shops, and restaurants serving traditional Sicilian specialties. After exploring the archaeological sites of the Valle dei Templi Park, enjoy a meal at a quaint restaurant facing the Falcone Borsellino promenade in San Leone. Here, dishes combine land and sea ingredients, offering a unique Mediterranean flavor.
- Stair of the Turks - The Scala dei Turchi is a stunning, dazzling white gem that beautifully contrasts with the clear blue sea. It is a favored destination during southern summers, thanks to its soft, rounded, and irregular formations and the “cool” white color of its cliff. Made of clayey and calcareous sedimentary rock, the cliff’s distinctive white hue and cool touch are notable. Visitors can reach the cliff via a path of large steps, where tourists often relax to sunbathe or admire the breathtaking view of the equally captivating coast of Agrigento.

Perfect day trip from Palermo - The valley of the temples is not to be missed – the ruins are beautiful, the history is fascinating – our guide Anna did a wonderful job.— the park itself is beautiful and green and open, and you feel like you are out in nature. Scala dei Turchi was less impressive – perhaps in part because we chose not to climb down the stairs and saw it from above. One of the best parts of our day was getting to know our wonderful driver Luca (ask for him if you can!)

A lovely and informative day! - This was a lovely day with our fabulous driver, Fabrizio. He was kind, considerate, welcoming, and informative! We have made a friend! Our tour guide at the temples, Claudio, was a treat! He brought the history alive for us. We had a lovely lunch at the water’s edge and a safe and comfortable ride to and from. We highly recommend this private tour. It is pricy, but worth it.

All very nice, lots of monument and little cleaning - Monumentally it is a past the heritage of Sicily in general and its magnificent beaches of crystal clear waters.
How I advise not to go in summer is very hot and humid.
And as an advice to Sicilians to clean up the cities a bit, there is something called a broom 🧹
