A motorhome tour of Agrigento and the Coast of the Temples

Valley of the Temples, Scala dei Turchi and Eraclea Minoa

The Valley of the Temples in Agrigento is one of the world’s most important archaeological sites: seven Doric temples dating from the 5th century BC overlooking the Mediterranean, still intact after 2,500 years. At sunset, as the light bathes the tuff in orange, it is a sight you will never forget.

Heading west: the Scala dei Turchi, Italy’s most photographed white marl cliff; Porto Empedocle; the unspoilt beaches of Eraclea Minoa. An itinerary combining archaeology and the sea, far from the beaten track.
