Kolymbethra Garden & Hypogea: Guided Tour
Description
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.
Walk through cavernous tunnels with a helmet and flashlight on this guided tour. Then, return to the world of the living and enjoy the fragrant garden of Kolymbethra. This ancient garden is alive with lush orchards, rocky edifices, and copious cacti that have stood the test of time.
