Independent arrival at Palermo airport (flight not included). Go to the “car rental” area to pick up the rental car that will accompany you on this trip.
A category C car rental (MG3 / Renault Clio or similar with manual transmission) is provided for 3 days, with pick-up and drop-off at Palermo airport. To pick up the car, you will need a valid driver's license (original/copies not accepted) and a credit card.
Accommodation at Ecoluxury Retreat La Foresteria Planeta.
Dinner not included.
A buffet breakfast will be served. Immediately afterwards, take your rental car to the meeting point with your guide.
Your encounter with history takes shape along the road leading to the Valley of the Temples. Once you arrive in the heart of ancient Akragas, you will be welcomed by an expert guide who will lead you on an exclusive tour of the ruins of the city that Pindar celebrated as “the most beautiful among mortals.”
The tour unfolds like an intimate dialogue with the past, where the power of the Doric temples stands out strongly against the intense blue of the Sicilian landscape. From the solemn lines of the Temple of Juno, guardian of ancient rites and legends, to the almost superhuman harmony of the Temple of Concordia, every step becomes an invitation to wonder. Walking among millennial columns and walls sculpted by the sun, the guide's narration will give voice to the myth, revealing hidden anecdotes about the gods and precious details about the art and spirituality that have helped shape Western civilization.
At the end of the visit, you will have time for lunch (not included in the tour price).
The rest of the day is free for you to spend as you wish. On the way back to the hotel, we suggest a stop at Scala dei Turchi (entrance not included): a natural wonder among white cliffs overlooking the sea. The limestone rocks, sculpted by wind and water, create an impressive staircase.
In the evening, we recommend visiting nearby Mazara del Vallo, strolling through its historic streets and enjoying a dinner of fresh seafood. A day of culture, relaxation, and good food to conclude your stay in Sicily.
After breakfast, begin your journey back to Palermo Airport in time to return your rental car and catch your return flight.
