Overview

Agrigento is one of the most extraordinary cities in Sicily, famous for its ancient Greek temples, scenic landscapes and atmospheric medieval streets. From the historic center to the iconic Valley of the Temples, Agrigento offers a unique journey through history, culture and local traditions.

These are the things I always look for when I travel, and you will find all of them in this digital guide, created together with a local to help you enjoy your own Agrigento walking tour at your own pace.

Over the years, I have guided thousands of travelers across Italy, and I created this guide so you can explore Agrigento as if you were walking with a friend who knows every alley, legend, viewpoint and traditional dish.

During the first part of the tour, you will explore the historic center: stroll along Via Atenea, discover the Cathedral of San Gerlando, visit the Church of Santa Maria dei Greci (built on the remains of an ancient Greek temple), and wander through medieval streets filled with stories and hidden corners.

The second part of the guide takes you through the world-famous Valley of the Temples. You will walk among some of the best-preserved Greek temples in the world, including the majestic Temple of Concordia, the Temple of Juno overlooking the sea, the Temple of Heracles and the archaeological remains spread along the ancient sacred road. You will also learn stories about Magna Graecia, mythology, ancient rituals and the strategic importance of Akragas.

The guide also includes tips for exploring the Kolymbethra Garden, viewpoints inside the archaeological park and suggestions for combining your visit with the stunning Scala dei Turchi.

You will also find recommendations on where to enjoy Sicilian specialties such as arancine, pasta con le sarde, caponata, cannoli, granite and wines from the hills around Agrigento.

Itinerary

1) Agrigento Cathedral
Dedicated to San Gerlando, patron saint of the city, this cathedral has roots that date back to the 11th century, during the Norman domination of Sicily. Its elevated position offers a stunning view over the city — and its history is full of fascinating episodes.

2) Scalinata degli Artisti
Built in 2017, the Artists’ Staircase is one of the most colourful and creative spots in Agrigento. Thanks to its vibrant decorations and installations, this staircase has become a true open-air artwork and is considered one of the sixteen most colourful stairways in the world.

3) Church of Santo Spirito
Part of the Cistercian Monastery founded in the 13th century by the noblewoman Marchisia Prefoglio, this church preserves beautiful Gothic elements and a charming rose window. A peaceful and historic corner of the old town.

4) Porta di Ponte (Mokrito)
Dating back to the 9th century, Porta di Ponte was the main entrance to Agrigento. Once equipped with a drawbridge and crowned by a Gothic arch, it welcomed visitors entering Via Atenea, the historic heart of the city.

5) Belvedere Arancio
One of the most scenic viewpoints in Agrigento! Also known as Belvedere Kolymbethra, it overlooks the Valley of the Temples and the coastline. A perfect spot for unforgettable photos and a moment of quiet above the city.

6) Archaeological Museum “Pietro Griffo”
One of Sicily’s most important archaeological museums. Here you’ll discover the long history of ancient Akragas through statues, ceramics, inscriptions and extraordinary finds that reconstruct the life of the Greek colony.

7) Valley of the Temples
A UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the world’s most extraordinary archaeological parks. The temples of the ancient Greek city — especially the Temple of Concordia and the Temple of Juno — are among the best-preserved in the Mediterranean. A must-visit when in Agrigento!

8) Garden of Kolymbethra
A 6-hectare botanical treasure inside the Valley of the Temples. This lush garden is filled with citrus trees, olive groves, almond trees and Mediterranean vegetation, offering a peaceful green escape in one of the world’s most iconic archaeological settings.

9) Local Food & Restaurant Tips in Agrigento
Agrigento has a rich culinary tradition inspired by Greek, Arabic and Sicilian flavours. Don’t miss classics like pasta con le sarde, couscous di pesce, caponata, arancine and cannoli.
