From Agrigento to Taormina, Valley of Temples & Roman Villa

Villa Romana Del Casale, Piazza Armerina, Italy

Tour of Sicily by CHAT & TOUR SRL

An efficient method for transitioning from Agrigento to Taormina involves exploring the city's notable attractions, including Agrigento and Piazza Armerina.



Today at 10:15 am, prepare to meet our driver and commence with a stop at the Valley of the Temples for a two-hour audio-guided independent walking tour. This significant UNESCO World Heritage site encompasses the Temple of Hera, the Temple of Concordia, the Temple of Hercules, and the Temple of Zeus.

Agrigento's legendary history dates back to 582 BC, when it was founded by Rhodian-Cretan colonists from neighboring Gela. Under the rule of Phalarides and Theron, the city experienced rapid growth, becoming a major center of power and culture. The Roman Villa of Casale, built around the 4th century AD, was later overshadowed until archaeological excavations unearthed its entirety in the early 20th century. This magnificent structure is renowned for its luxurious Roman villa interior, spanning approximately 3,500 square meters with intricate floor mosaics, reflecting the opulence of its former occupants. Each room features informational plaques.

Following this, proceed to Piazza Armerina, where we will explore the awe-inspiring Mosaics Floor at the Roman Villa of Casale. This remarkable piece of artistry, dating back to the 4th century AD, showcases the pinnacle of Roman architectural splendor. Upon arrival, the estimated duration of stay may vary based on traffic conditions.

Finally, our journey concludes with a visit to Taormina, expected to arrive around 6:45 pm local time, subject to traffic delays.

Should fewer than two participants join the tour, it shall not proceed.
