Agrigento - Temple's valley

Of course Agrigento means to have a visit to the “Valley of Temples”, a huge area declared World heritage and icon of the town in the world. An experience to do not miss and to combine with a pic-nic at the nearby ancient garden of Kolimbetra where we can admire the local flora and the ancient Arab watering system (still in use in many Sicilian oranges farming).
For those interested in a cooking lesson, we will be pleased to introduce you to the charming owner of a Olive grow Farm, chef for passion and great host. Lunch at the Farm and cooking lesson at early afternoon.

Raramente chi viene in Sicilia non desidera andare ad ammirare la Famosissima Valle dei templi di Agrigento, essa è infatti il simbolo della città nel mondo.
La valle è inserita tra i beni artistico/monumentali considerati patrimonio dell’umanità dall’Unesco.
Visiteremo quindi in successione i famosissimi templi di Giunone Lacinia, della Concordia, di Castore e Polluce, di Ercole, di Zeus Olimpio e di Vulcano; ed il campo dell’Olimpeyon
Finita la visita della Valle, un piccolo momento di relax – pic-nic al giardino della Kolymbetra, piccola vallata ricca di vegetazione
Nel pomeriggio visita al Museo Archeologico che mostra interessantissimi  reperti ritrovati nel corso degli scavi.

Per chi invece non volesse proseguire nel pomeriggio con la visita del museo, è previsto un lunch in agriturismo de charme, con la possibilità di una cooking lesson pomeridiana

With active volcanoes, stunning beaches, a spectacular climate and dramatic gorges and mountains, Sicily is a fascinating and beautiful island. It is also the largest island in the Mediterranean and, thanks to its strategically vital position and fertile land, its history is one of an endless series of invaders and colonizers, each of which has left its trace in the architecture, in the food, in its traditions, and in the character of its people.

“ Sicily has a history and outlook derived not from its modern parent but from its erstwhile foreign rulers from the Greeks who first settled the east coast in the eighth century BC, through a dazzling array of Romans, Arabs, Normans, French and Spanish, to the Bourbons seen off by Garibaldi in 1860. Substantial relics of these ages remain temples, theatres and churches scattered about the whole island. But there are other, more immediate hints of Sicily’s unique past. A hybrid Sicilian language, for a start, is still widely spoken in the countryside; the food is noticeably different, spicier and with more emphasis on fish and vegetables; even the flora echoes the change of temperament– oranges, lemons, olives, prickly pear cacti and palms are ubiquitous. Add to this some tremendous beaches and a dozen or so fascinating offshore islands, and you have enough to keep you busy for a lifetime, let alone a holiday…
