Leggi qui per maggiori info sul tuo prossimo viaggio in Sicilia ā¬ļø Nel mio viaggio on the Road in Sicilia di 7 giorni abbiamo esplorato in lungo e largo la regione piĆ¹ grande dāItalia. Ecco i cinque luoghi che piĆ¹ ho apprezzato, lāultimo ĆØ in assoluto il mio preferito! šļøMa pensate che tutti e 5 questi luoghi sono PATRIMONIO UNESCO! INFO UTILI: šEscursione sul monte Etna: #l Se partire da Taormina esplorate il versante Nord. Se partite da Catania per comoditĆ esplorate il versante Sud. Nel video potete vedere il Versante Nord. Fino a Piano Provenzana a 1900 metri potete arrivare con la macchina da soli. Se volete proseguire fino si crateri del 2002 vi consiglio la compagnia āEtna Alcantaraā che vi porterĆ prima con un mezzo cingolato e poi a piedi fino in cima . šIl duomo di Monreale ĆØ Gratuito mentre le Terazze e il chiostro sono a pagamento, ma secondo me valgono la pena giĆ che siete li. PS: Se andate dietro il duomo troverete quella piccola viuzza con i portoni Rossi davvero suggestiva šLa finestra vetri da cui si vede il Parco della Neapolis ĆØ il ristornate āMomentoā proprio dentro il Parco, vista magnifica e abbiamo mangiato benissimo. GiĆ che siete a Siracusa non potete non fermarvi ad Ortigia. šIl prezzo per entrare nella Villa Romana del Casale ĆØ davvero misero (10ā¬, 5 ā¬ ridotto) se pensiamo alla quantitĆ di patrimonio artistico da cui siamo circondati. Metri e Metri di Mosaici quasi perfettamente conservati. šLa piĆ¹ bella cittĆ tra le cittĆ Mortali va obbligatoriamente vista al tramonto per poterla ammirare al suo massimo splendore. La statua di Icaro Caduto di Igor Mitoray si trova con il sole alle spalle al tramonto, posizione perfetta per degli scatti di goldenhour. Consiglio di arrivare 1.30 ora prima del tramonto per godersi il parco con calma e poi ammirare il sole che cala dal templi della Concordia. E tu sei mai stato in Sicilia? Raccontami quale posto ti ha colpito di piĆ¹ š«¶ Se ti ĆØ piaciuto questo tour šSeguimi per scoprire altri itinerari incredibili in Italia e nel mondo š«¶ #visitsicilyinfo #yummysicily #seesicily *ad . . #sicilia #viaggiareinitalia #visitsicily #visititaly #italytravel

Mesmerizing Journey Through Time - Valley of the Temples, Agrigento My visit to the Valley of the Temples in Agrigento was an unforgettable experience! As soon as I stepped foot into this ancient archaeological site, I was transported back in time. The well-preserved ruins and majestic temples offered a glimpse into the rich history of this captivating place. Walking among the remnants of the ancient Greek civilization was awe-inspiring. The Temple of Concordia, in particular, left me in awe with its remarkable Doric columns and grandeur. The sheer scale and intricate details of these historical structures were a testament to the ingenuity of the ancient builders. The panoramic views of the surrounding landscape were breathtaking. The valley's lush greenery and the distant Mediterranean Sea created a picturesque backdrop, making it a perfect spot for photography. The site's upkeep and signage were commendable, providing informative insights into each temple's significance and historical context. The well-maintained paths made the exploration smooth and enjoyable. Visiting at sunset added a magical touch to the experience, as the fading sun painted the temples in a warm glow, evoking a sense of serenity and tranquility. I would highly recommend the Valley of the Temples to history enthusiasts, architecture admirers, and anyone seeking a profound cultural experience. Whether you're a solo traveler or visiting with family and friends, this extraordinary site promises an immersive journey through time that will stay with you forever. Kudos to the dedicated staff and authorities for preserving this invaluable heritage and allowing visitors to relive the glory of the past. If you find yourself in Agrigento, the Valley of the Temples should undoubtedly be at the top of your must-visit list!

Tour of temples (guided) as a family of 5- ages 50,50,19,18,11 - we booked on a tour for 4pm with a tour guide on get your guide and it was easy to book and get information. It was reasonable price (for 4, with tour guide, was Ā£100) - We went end of August, and we must say it was sweltering hot. Even until 6.30pm it was unbearable heat. - We are a walking family and can deal with a lot but I must say I would never do it at 4pm or in the day again. It is a MUST to see and visit but I would do it in the evening ! Highly recommend - We bought loads of water, hats, suncream, umbrella and even then it was too hot. Also the walk with a tour guide was around 10,000 steps and once at the end you have to walk all the way back which we didnāt know so if you are doing a tour guide be prepared for a 10,000 step walk and if you book during the day, doing that in 30 degree heat. - Our tour guide was absolutely lovely, however I would say itās not essential. Itās ā2 hoursā however Iād say it was quite dragged out and wouldāve been better to get an audio guide and map and to have done it yourself. Thatās just my opinion as you have freedom then and still have the information . As much as we loved the tour guide, if we were to do it again or visit another archeological site, weād do it ourselves with a map and perhaps an audio guide. - The temples themselves were gorgeous so would highly recommend going. But as mentioned: bring lots of water, hats etcā¦ Be prepared to walk a long way on a guided tour, even just 5-10k in general, wouldnāt go in the middle of the day (as the sun was setting it was better so around 6-7pm) and you could definitely save the money by doing it yourself and if you want info, hire an audio guide and bring headphones

The place was amazing. Itās very beautiful view. Employees are friendly and nice, but they donāt speak other language than Italian. Itās very hard to be a tourist and deal with the language. They have a crazy rule about tripods so youāre not allowed to take pictures with a tripod so all the solo travelers like me we cannot have good pictures because we are solo and this is exactly the reason why solo travelers use tripods so I donāt get this .. they Blamed on UNESCO saying that is their rules but I was in Greece and they donāt care if you have a tripod so I donāt know whatās going on in this place but a guard come to me and start shouting to me because I was using my tripod and I am a solo traveler. I need a tripod. I donāt understand whatās going on with the humans, but this is crazy. Also, the place has no proper signals And I think that is missing some cleaning person on the toilets because the toilets were really dirty. Also these is cause turist are dirty .. is amazing how dirty they can be š„¹I think the government or whoever is taking the administration of this place is doing a bad job. Maybe itās cause they donāt have a good people to hire but still we are talking about history and you need good people to share the history, so I am not happy with the With the whole experience.. better go to Greece š

An absolutely do-not-miss site in Sicily, and one you really should visit first thing in the morning. The significance of this site cannot be overstated. Incredible examples of Hellenistic temples in Italy, the structures tell the tale of Greece's once great power in the region, and it's eventual fading with increasing Roman dominance. The hot Sicilian days will feel even hotter on this site with little shade and often little wind to cool you. Get there early both to beat the crowds (buses, so many buses) and the heat! There is little information on site to interpret what you are seeing, so get some information from a reliable website, a good tour book (we used Rick Steves), or the audio guide (we did not use this ourselves). Park at the eastern gate and walk to the west, seeing the temples as you go, then decide if you want to pay for the one-way taxi back to your car. Then, DO NOT MISS the museum! On the northwest side of the site, it has so many artifacts and is so cheap to add on to your ticket to the valley. Parking is free at the museum and totally worth it. Don't try and park at the museum to see the valley, however, the distance is not practical and you don't want to wait for city buses...
