What travellers are saying
- TorontoMacToronto, Canada201 contributionsIf you enjoy ancient history, this site is well worth the time. It requires some easy walking time, and if you go from one end to the other, you might want to make arrangements for a drive back to the start. Nevertheless, the temples and their setting are worth visiting.Written 13 February 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- John SEASTLAKE232 contributionsThe Valley of the Temples were fantastic. Lots to see and many of them were in good shape.
If you have a shuttle taking you and picking you up, make sure you are very clear with the directions for the location of the pick up. The signage is not very good (imagine that).Written 8 December 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It was boiling hot out and this was ideal if you want to visit the temples but not spend hours. This is one of the smaller sites but has parking and no queue at the ticket office. We had booked online with a booking service but I don't think that was really necessary.
A reasonably short walk around and a cafe at the halfway point was ideal. Lots of different sandwiches and arancini and then plenty of different ice cream flavours to cool you down.
Toilets at the cafe but no locks on the doors!Written 11 August 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The garden is so antique and has lots of exemplars of citrus plants and unique man made irrigation system. With the hot Sicilian sun it was such a pleasure to stay in the shade of the trees in the picturesque landscape. 10/10 recommend to visit!Written 13 July 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Big_Jeff_LeoSt Helens, UK21,978 contributionsThis temple is only partially surviving but this does not detract from its present. It can be enjoyed from multiple angles and photo opportunities. The most interesting aspect for me was in its restoration and the story around one mans dedication to that end.Written 27 June 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Big_Jeff_LeoSt Helens, UK21,978 contributionsIn front of the Temple of Concordia, you can admire the statue of Icarus, donated by the Polish sculptor Igor Mitoraj. The statue represents the Fall of Icarus, who disobeyed his father Daedalus, he flew too close to the sun, burned his wings of wax and fell into the Mediterranean. in this statue, as a result of the fall, the wings are broken. This is a modern piece of art but it nevertheless is superbly executed and fits in perfectly with its surroundings. It reminded me of that classic film Jason and the Argonauts and the mighty Talos!Written 27 June 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The other path is ok.Written 8 August 2017This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- phat_dawg_21Alpharetta, GA13,464 contributionsThis temple was used by the followers of Demeter and Persephone to celebrate the coming of spring. To the Greeks, the return of Persephone from the underworld symbolized the return of life in the spring. Each spring, as the earth returned to life, some Greeks and later the Romans observed a sacred ritual in which the story of Demeter and Persephone was enacted.
They would gather here to make offerings after entering through Portal #5.
According to the legend Persephone was the daughter of Zeus and Demeter, goddess of the earth. Hades, the brother of Zeus and god of the underworld, abducts the young goddess one day as she is gathering flowers by a stream.
Demeter goes in search of her daughter but is unable to find her. Demeter’s grief causes the earth to die—crops fail, and famine comes upon the land.
Zeus intervenes and commands Hades to return Persephone. Reluctant to release her, Hades forces Persephone to eat a pomegranate seed, food of the dead. As a result, she can spend only six months out of the year with her mother; the other six months she is destined to spend in the realm of Hades.Written 3 August 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We learned about the history of the painted cart and then saw how much work it takes to produce them, and the carts on display were magnificent! It's a short drive from the temples of Agrigento so is a great way to round out a day of culture.Written 11 November 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
