Live fully the unspoiled area around Agrigento!
Your driver will reach you directly in front of the hotel and will drive you to discover the beautiful Agrigento, Enna and Piazza Armerina.
After the tour the driver will drive back the passengers to the Hotel or where they will prefer in Palermo downtown.The Agrigento (the ancient Akragas) represents an intimate harmony between culture, history and art.
The centre of the town is the famous Via Atenea where shops, trattorias and restaurants are lined up.
Agrigento became one of the most important cities in the Mediterranean area and its relevance is proved by the remains in the magnificent Valley of Temples. The site boundary includes the entire territory of the ancient polis, the extramural area of the necropolis, the remains of the residential area of Hellenistic and Roman Agrigento, the network of underground aqueducts and a wide portion of land where there are still unexcavated archaeological structures.
One of the most surprising fact about Agrigento is that the ancient city was more extensive than the new one. Then you will admire the beautiful village: Enna.
It is known as the “Province of Lakes”, the only Sicilian Province without an outlet to the sea; rather, it possesses the greatest number of ponds and laes.
Remains of ancient reigns are scattered throughout the territory, exploring the area you will easily recognise the passage of the Normans, Swabians and Aragonese.
Precious architecture reveals the expansion of the Baroque from the eastern coast to the interior.
This area is also full of typical dishes that you can't resist!
Your trip will end with a bang visiting Piazza Armerina and the charming Roman villa with its magnificent mosaics. They depict scenes from daily life and typical of the twentieth century.The remains of another village, Sofiana, ancient Proedium Philosophianum, have been discovered about 6 kilometers south of the villa. This includes baths, as well as Roman and Byzantine cemeteries and the vestiges of a Paleo Christian church.You will be impressed by the scenic, mountainous area of Piazza Armerina, not far from Enna.
At the end we will drive you back to Palermo.
*A tour guide is not included, a suggestion may be to bring a guidebook. Remember to check the website for opening times of the location and the price of entrance ticket. Entrance fees are not included.
