Valley of the Temples + Roman Villa of Casale Day Trip
Meet us at the Taormina bus station for a day trip to the Valley of the Temples and the Roman Villa of Casale.
The first stop is Agrigento, home to the Valley of the Temples, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1997. Notable landmarks include the Temple of Juno, Temple of Concordia, and the remains at Temple of Heracles and Temple of Zeus. The Temples of Castor and Pollux provide further insight into classical mythology.
You will have an hour of free time to have lunch at local restaurants. Afterward, we will proceed to Piazza Armerina and visit the Roman Villa of Casale, excavated primarily by Gino Vinicio Gentili in the 1950s.
The villa showcases vibrant mosaics, including a notable one depicting women's sports in ancient times, featuring women in activities such as disc throwing and lifting weights.
After 12 hours of exploring, we will return to the starting point.
