HIKING IN THE VALLEY OF THE TEMPLES

Along ancient, rarely traveled paths, discover the remains of Akragas amidst unique and spectacular panoramas.

HARMONY OF LANDSCAPE AND NATURE

The Valley of the Temples is an archaeological and landscape park with unique and spectacular panoramas of extraordinary natural beauty. Within the park, Saracen olive trees, considered centuries-old living monuments, and a wide variety of trees – almond, pistachio, carob, pomegranate, mulberry, loquat – grow alongside citrus groves, vegetable gardens and characteristic Mediterranean shrubland plants.

Along ancient sheep tracks, rarely traveled paths and roads dating back to Greek and Roman times, it is possible to reach sanctuaries outside the city walls, as well as bastions, the remains of mighty fortifications, places that dominate the surrounding landscape with breathtaking views of the Valley of the Temples and the Mediterranean Sea. The pristine nature can be admired from hills and plateaus enriched by Greek monuments.

Losing yourself in the fragrant Agrigento countryside, covered in delicate wildflowers, you come across the remains of the city the Greeks called Akragas and the Romans called Agrigentum. Discovering the remains hidden by the lush vegetation is an experience that allows you to immerse yourself in the history of the archaeological site and connect with the harmony of the landscape.
