Day Trip Details

We will pick you up from your hotel in Catania to begin our day trip to the Valley of the Temples and Scala dei Turchi. During the minibus journey, information about the Valley of the Temples in Agrigento will be shared. You can explore this site at your own pace, which includes the Temple of Concordia, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

You can also see the remains of other temples dedicated to gods such as Juno, Hercules, Hephaestus, and Athena. Lunch will be at the bar at the Archeological Museum of Pietro Griffo, with a menu offering sandwiches, water, and wine.

Afterward, we will visit the Scala dei Turchi, known for its distinctive white rock formation rising from the Ionian Sea. Here, you will learn about the marl rock contributing to its color and the origin of its name, followed by free time to explore.

Finally, we will return to Catania, dropping you off at your hotel after this 9-9.5 hour trip.
