Piazza Armerina & Agrigento

This full-day tour offers a deep dive into Sicily’s rich ancient history and cultural heritage, combining two of the island’s most remarkable destinations in a single, well-paced experience. Agrigento, founded in 580 BC, is world-famous for the Valley of the Temples, one of the most important archaeological sites of the ancient Greek world. Spanning more than 1,300 hectares, the site showcases extraordinarily preserved temples, including the Temple of Concordia, Juno, Hercules, Castor and Pollux, Vulcan, and the monumental Temple of Olympian Zeus. Along the way, you will also encounter ancient civic buildings, sanctuaries, necropolises, and impressive hydraulic works that reveal the scale and sophistication of this once-great city.

The journey continues to Piazza Armerina, located in the heart of Sicily’s Erei Mountains at an elevation of 700 meters. This charming town is best known for the Villa Romana del Casale, a UNESCO World Heritage Site renowned for its 3,500 square meters of vividly detailed Roman mosaics depicting scenes of daily life, mythology, and sport. Beyond the villa, Piazza Armerina offers insight into Sicily’s layered history, including medieval traditions such as the Norman Palio, a historic reenactment held each August. Traveling comfortably by air-conditioned vehicle with a knowledgeable driver-guide, this customizable tour allows you to explore Sicily at your own pace while enjoying a seamless blend of archaeology, history, and local culture.
