Overview

For almost a decade we have been taking care of accompanying our friends and / or guests to the discovery of our countries and the legends and stories of which every street is steeped.
Our mission is to take the visitor to enchanted places, outside the mainstream tourist routes, to show the hidden wonders of our territory, because we firmly believe that only a person who knows and loves a place can make you fall in love if you see it for the first time through his eyes. Even an audio guide or a leaflet can tell you the characteristics of a place and its history, but they will not be able to tell you the stories that are hidden in those places and that will be the real starter of your emotions.

Activity itinerary

Tempio di Vulcano o Efesto
  • 15m
  • Admission ticket not included
The temple of Vulcan (in Greek Hephaestus) stands on the hill to the west of today's garden of Kolymbetra, which separates it from the southwestern end of the hill of the Temples and the sanctuary of the Chthonic deities. The traditional denomination of the temple of Vulcano - as often happens in Agrigento - is only conventional and is not supported by either archaeological or epigraphic evidence. Its name derives from the interpretation of a passage by Solino, a Latin writer of geography, which mentions the religious ceremonies that took place near a lake in Agrigento not far from the Vulcano hill (collis Vulcanius), perhaps so-called due to the presence of Sulphur.
Giardino della Kolymbethra
  • 30m
  • Admission ticket not included
The Garden of Kolymbethra is a rare archaeological and agricultural jewel, an extraordinary place that contains the colours, flavours and aromas of the land of Sicily and tells, with its finds and its hypogea, excavated 2500 years ago, the history of ancient Akragas .
Necropoli Pezzino
  • 15m
  • Admission ticket included
Necropolis of the Greek age. The necropolis is probably the one mentioned by Diodorus Siculus (Diodorus Siculus Lib 13. 86, 1-4 during the attack by the Carthaginians (406 BC), where by order of Imilcone and Hannibal they were, to facilitate the attack on the city, sepulchral monuments demolished The necropolis has been systematically explored since 1980 by Prof. De Miro and the Superintendence of Agrigento.
Valley of the Temples
  • 10m
  • Admission ticket included
Porta V was supposed to be one of the main entrances to the city and led directly to the great sanctuary of the Chthonic divinities. It was crossed by a roadway that joined the important east-west artery that connected to Porta II.
