Valley of the Temples · Agrigento

Eight Greek temples spread along a 3km ridge facing the sea, built between 510 and 430 BC — the most complete Doric temple group outside Greece itself. The Temple of Concordia is the headline (almost intact, almost 2,500 years old). Go at 7 a.m. for the heat and the empty crop of olive groves, or at sunset for the golden hour. The Garden of the Kolymbethra, run by FAI, is a separate ticket and worth doing for the orange-grove walk below the temples.
