Around the world
Covering over 90 points of interest, this self-guided audio adventure around Sicily’s most amazing places is guaranteed to add plenty of context to your exploration. See ancient temples, castles, churches and more as you listen to fascinating stories and facts about the region’s history and culture.
Explore a 5th-century reservoir, or hypogea, in Sicily’s Valley of the Temples. This network of tunnels once provided water to Akragas (present-day Agrigento) and dates back to the city’s construction in 480 BC.
You can explore a vast array of ancient artifacts at the Archaeological Museum Pietro Griffo. You’ll see artifacts from Greek, Roman, and Byzantine periods, including ancient sculptures, detailed mosaics, and pottery.
Visit the Giardino della Kolymbethra in Agrigento, Sicily, and discover its rich history and natural beauty. This unique garden, located within the archaeological area, offers a glimpse into ancient Akragas through its artifacts and a 2500-year-old hypogeum.
Begin your adventure at the Juno Temple’s grand entrance, accompanied by a knowledgeable historian and art enthusiast.
The Valley of the Temples in Agrigento is the largest archaeological site in the world. This Sicilian plateau spans 1,300 hectares of sun-drenched history, where some of the most remarkable ruins of Ancient Greek and Byzantine empires are still standing tall.
Step into a UNESCO World Heritage site, and the largest archaeological site in the world. The sun-drenched ruins in the ancient Valley of the Temples will revive the lost imagery of long-collapsed Greek and Byzantine Empires. This combo ticket also lets you wander the neighbouring, ancient Kolymbethra Garden.
It’s not actually in a valley, believe it or not. It’s on a ridge. But don’t let that minor detail put you off; the temples at Agrigento are a sight to behold, and the ridge itself is quite the looker! Avoid the long queues – especially in the summer months – with a guided tour and fast-track access to this wonder of antiquity.
