About Agrigento

Agrigento's Valle dei Templi is one of the Mediterranean's greatest Greek sites—Temple of Concordia, olive groves, and views to the sea along a ridge above the modern town. March to May and October offer the best visiting window: cooler mornings for open-air archaeology, almond blossom in late winter, and fewer tour groups than peak summer. June to August can exceed 40°C on exposed stone; if you must come then, start at opening time and retreat to Scala dei Turchi beach by noon. Pair a night here with Sicilian street food in the old center before heading to the south coast.
