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

4.3/5
52 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 was fantastic, very knowledgeable, and he switched from English to French seamlessly! Really enjoyed seeing the temples and learning the history around them. The only thing I would rate down is the price, for £114 for 2 people I think the tickets into the site should be included.

    Guide (Salvatore) was excellent and very knowledgeable. However it was wrong that the Agrigento entrance fee was not included in the tour price. After all, would you ever pay for the tour and not enter the temple complex? This aspect was poorly explained when we bought the tour. The scala dei turchi part seemed to just be a “filler” and was pretty much a waste of time beyond a 5 minute picture stop.

    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.
