Join us on this day trip to the Valley of the Temples and the Scala dei Turchi, visiting an archeological site and a natural treasure.

Day Trip Details

We'll pick you up from your hotel in Catania to start our day trip. You will travel via minibus while we share information about the Valley of the Temples in Agrigento, which you will visit at your own pace. The site features seven well-preserved temples, with the Temple of Concordia being significant for its UNESCO World Heritage Site recognition.

You will also see remains of temples dedicated to gods such as Juno, Hercules, Hephaestus, and Athena. For lunch, a stop will be made at the bar at the Archeological Museum of Pietro Griffo, with a menu that includes sandwiches made with traditional products, water, and wine.

Afterward, we'll proceed to the Scala dei Turchi, a distinctive white rock formation rising from the turquoise waters of the Ionian Sea. Here, you will learn about marl and the origin of the landmark's name, followed by free time to explore the area.

Finally, we will return to Catania and drop you off at your hotel after this day trip of 9-9.5 hours.
