Your first destination is the legendary Valley of the Temples in Agrigento. In this unique UNESCO site, where the imposing Doric columns stand out against the intense blue sky, you will have maximum freedom to stroll along the Via Sacra. You'll be able to admire immortal monuments such as the Temple of Concord, breathing in the atmosphere of ancient Greece and taking unforgettable photos in a place where time seems to stand still.

From the golden stones of Agrigento, the tour will take you inland, among the lush hills surrounding Piazza Armerina. Here you will discover the Villa Romana del Casale, an imperial residence that houses the largest and most complex collection of Roman mosaics in existence. You'll have time to explore the ornate rooms on your own, enchanted by the vivid details of the mosaics that tell myths, hunting scenes and everyday life of the Roman Empire.
