Meeting Point

Temple of Juno (Hera)

- We will meet at the entrance of The Valley of the Temples, in front the Temple of Juno

Temple of Concordia

Step into the ancient city of Akragas, described by the Greek poet Pindar as “the most beautiful city of mortals.”

But why did the Greeks leave their homeland and sail across the Mediterranean?

What were they searching for? Wealth? Power? A new beginning?

During this immersive walking tour of the Valley of the Temples, we will travel back to the 5th century BC and uncover the story of Greek colonization in Sicily — a story of ambition, trade, faith, and identity.

You will admire the majestic Temple of Concordia, one of the best-preserved Doric temples in the world, understand how temples were built and why they were so important, and discover what daily life looked like in one of the most prosperous cities of Magna Graecia.

This is not just a tour of ruins.

It is a story about people, dreams, and power — told in the very landscape where it all happened.

Ending Point

Temple of Zeus
