Words don't really describe it, probably one of the best kept temples in the world, with views out to the med and surrounded with Olive and almond trees.

The site of the temples of Hercules, Concord and Juno is on a ridge which is set between a valley at the bottom of Agrigento and the sea to the south. It gives a great feeling of uplift, clear light and surveillance. The air was made clear and clean by breezes, and the majestic temples glowed deep gold red in... More

As part of an organised tour we visited the Valley of the Temples. It is amazing to think that 2500 ago the Greeks were constructing buildings of this size and complexity. The best way to view the Valley is to enter at the top gate and walk past each of the 3 main templles as you gently descend the valley.... More

Exquisitely rebuilt from the original blocks this is an awe inspiring building - Oh! the sights this must have seen down the centuries. Stunningly proportioned it is quintessentially elegant. I feel lucky to have experienced this special place and building.

Don't miss spending some time sitting and musing about this monument! It is one of the most well preserved and large sites in this site.

Never seen Greek ruins before, and these took my breath away. The entire complex is stunning and it's location in the hills leading down to the coast makes for some lovely views. I'd say it's worth the visit rain or shine. Pack some water though because the one vending machine is not plugged in and the restaurant is disgustingly full... More

I saw the Valley of the Temples when the almond trees were in bloom and there were many wild flowers also, making a lovely setting for the majesty of this temple which is still remarkably complete despite its age. It is massive and imposing, an unforgettable sight

Well preserved Greek temple. Wish they would put a roof on it and restore the decoration inside. I would rather see it restored and what it looked like in use. Great hilltop site, overlooking the countryside and views of the sea. Sailors could see it on the top of the hill from out at sea and spurred them on to... More
