    Worth visiting. Note: If using Google Maps, be aware that it turns you off onto a dirt track about 400m before the actual turn into the car park. This is only suitable for tractors and 4x4s, and is a dead end. Thought it was just me, but quite a few others took the same turn. Luckily, no visible damage to my hired car. Thanks Google! 😤

    The main temple of the valley, as it's the most preserved. Agrigento in itself is not that amazing, but the Valley of the Temples is its main attraction. As we came by car, we parked at Gate V, took the 3 EUR per person taxi to the other end, and only walked the way back (2,5 hour promenade). This was also recommended by our hosts, and it's also presented at the Gate V entrance. Then we paid the admission ticket of 10€ at the second entrance, less than 5 min waiting line, same price as on their official website. No need to pay triple for skip the line. You can also pay 5€ extra for the museum, but that's located in a totally separate area, so you can pay directly at the museum if decidint to visit. We didn't. As it's usually super hot (we visited in June), it's advisable to wear a hat and get some sunscreen. We weren't prepared, but we bought some hats at the entrance for around 15€/piece (there's lots of options), which turned out super useful and a nice memory to take home. :) Several spots where you can fill up your water bottle, plus a nice cafeteria with drinks, sweets and snaks close to the main temple of Concordia.

    The valley of the temples - parking near the entrance is basically a poorly maintained rocky field, with ticket barrier entrance. The valley is historic for a number of Greek temples, some of the best conserved examples still in existence. Avoid during the hot hours of the day (it is open till very late!). Plenty of bathroom facilities and a bar along the ~2-3km route, there is also a shuttle bus that drives up and down (for extra fee)

    The temple is one of the most preserved temples outside of Greece. Definitely a sight to see if you are in the area. There is a statue that was donated by Igor Mitoraj that is depicting Icarus without his legs or arms. And if you know the story of Icarus his father told him not to fly too close to the sun because his wings were made out of wax but he did it anyways and died. The temple is well preserved because of it being converted to a Christian church after it's pagan beliefs it was built on were gone. It is a great temple and it is wonderful that it still stands today.

    The best preserved of the temples. It is lit up at night. Looks particularly great at sunset. Probably the most important landmark in Agrigento.

    Super impressive ancient site. Note that you can't go into the structure but walking around it is satisfying. I have been 2x and I recommend either seeing it at night or times when the sun isn't super strong. There are several places to fill up you water bottle but you will be drinking lots of water.

    Incredible history! Stunning views! But, people PLEASE be respectful of this ancient place, signs states no climbing on the old rocks, but you can't fix stupid! Thankfully, our tour guide yelled at them!

    This is one of the most beautiful temples of the Ancient Greek world of the planet! Of course is the king of the valle dei templi area! I suggest to visit at sunset for better photos but don’t forget to visit the historical center of Agrigento and Museum too!!! If you are around Italy and you like this kind of archeological places then try to visit Paestum too… another area with interesting temples close Naples. Have fun!

    The site provides valuable insights into the design and construction of Greek temples during the 5th and 6th centuries BC. The Valley of the Temples is a remarkable archaeological site that allows us to explore and appreciate the achievements of ancient Greek civilization in Sicily.

    Cool to see if you are near. It was a bit tricky to park and enter, costed a bit more than I expected, and you definitely need quite a bit of time to get through it all.

  • 5/5 Luis B. 6 months ago on Google

    A pretty well restored temple in Agrigento. From there, you'll find a great view from the sea and the rest of the valley. Make sure to arrive early and having bought your tickets in advance.

    Good views, nice walks with lots to see. There was a cliff face that looked like Minecraft. Pog champ. Fornite battle royale!! 10/10.

  • 5/5 Michaela S. 1 year ago on Google
    If you like old temples from the time of the Roman Empire, this place is for you. The price is 10€, quit a lot, but the place is big. You can be there 30 minutes or two hours, depends on how far you go.

  • 5/5 Andrei B. 1 year ago on Google
    A marvelous place to visit, it’s unbelievable what people had done thousands of years ago

    A Doric temple in very good condition in a beautiful landscape

  • 4/5 Tommy J. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing to stand next to a structure that's approx 2500 years old...And still standing. Parking's a bit chaotic, but once you're inside, it's easy to get around. Not many people on a weekday, and on this time of year. Very good sandwiches at the bar next to the Concordia Temple.

  • 5/5 Konstantinos K. 2 years ago on Google
    Impressive, well-maintained ancient Greek temple. Even for someone from Greece like me, it was so much worth the visit. Must see!!!

    Temple of Concordia (440-430 BC); an ancient Greek temple in Valle dei Templi (Valley of Temples) in Agrigento on south coast of Sicily, Italy. It is largest and best-preserved Doric temple in Sicily, especially of the Doric order.

    Beautiful place. Too hot to visit in summer.

  • 5/5 Philip J. 1 year ago on Google
    Loved it, very hot 40° take plenty of water and suncream as shade is limited. Well worth the 4km walk.

  • 4/5 Eduard A. 1 year ago on Google
    Here you can see many of the ruins that once were towering Sicily. It's a lot to walk so dome people may not enjoy but for me it was great, even though tickets are 10 euros!
