Full-day Valley of the Temples and Scala dei Turchi tour

4.4/5
19 reviews

Two of Sicily's highlights are in the spotlight on this full-day tour. You'll visit the UNESCO World Heritage Site, Valley of the Temples, an archaeological site that's loaded with what's left of seven 2,500-year-old shrines, including the Temple of Concordia – it's ranked as one of the best-preserved Greek temples in the world. Afterwards, you'll head to one of the top ten most unique coastlines as named by TripAdvisor – Scala dei Turchi. Giuseppa, one of our expert local guides, says “the Valley of the Temples is landscaped with lots of flowering almond trees, another staple of Sicily, that will really add something extra to the photos you take here.”

First up is one of the largest archaeological sites in the world, the immense Valley of the Temples in Agrigento. It packs in the remains of seven temples perched on a high ridge, all of which you'll see, including the ruins of the Temple of Zeus and Concordia Temple at the end of the Sacred Way. The temples here are over 2,500 years old, so there are a lot of pages in the history books to uncover. You'll be given headphones to hear your guide, too, so you won't miss any details.

Afterwards, you'll make your way to the bright white Scala dei Turchi, a natural limestone staircase that is dug into the cliffs and weaves its way down to the sea. You'll have some time to unwind and go for a swim before heading back to the hotel.

    The guide, Salvatore, was very knowledgeable and friendly. The site was interesting. Only downside was the 50 minutes from our pickup to the last hotel pickup (in different towns) before we set off to the Temples so a long time sitting in the coach.

    Quite expensive as we had to pay entry as well would rather know full price. Would personally rather have a little more time at the temple or free time and less at Scala dei Turchi. Lovely view of the steps then 2hrs free time as redhead and can’t sit on the beach so only other options was to stay in a cafe.

    Temples were amazing Turkish Steps were not available to us as they were fully booked Alexandra was a pleasant guide The lady at the Temples was full of knowledge and she made everything clear and understood Excellent guide Being in the heat of the day at the beach and Turkish steps was a challenge although there was a lovely beach lounge and restaurant however it was exceptionally busy and expensive for a light lunch Having to pay 17 euros each for entrance to the Temples was a bit of a shock t

    Insgesamt sehr gute Organisation ! Unsere Erwartung war etwas mehr gut erhaltene Tempel zu sehen!! Leider war alles in englischer Sprache - so konnten wir wichtige Informationen während der Carreise über Kultur und Landwirtschaft nicht mitverfolgen. Kompetente tolle Reisebegleiterin .
