Below are some of the most amazing destinations in Italy worth considering for your ultimate trip. All of these provide the history, culture and flavors you will enjoy, as well as uniquely special attributes for which each is adored.
Agrigento
Known as one of the greatest legacies of ancient Greece, Agrigento is a village on Sicily’s southern coast. In Agrigento, you are able to stand beneath towering columns of Greek architecture of remaining Doric temples dating back to the sixth century BC. Once the Greek city of Akragas, the Valley of the Temples near Agrigento provides many sightseeing wonders similar to those of Pompeii, Rome and even Athens, all within one location less traveled than those more popular tourist destinations.
Between the town of Agrigento and the Valley of the Temples sites, Museo Archeologico provides a wide array of exhibits of local finds, including immense statues and items from ancient graves.
