Access to the Valley of the Temples
Venues you'll visit
Explore a 5th-century reservoir, or hypogea, in Sicily's Valley of the Temples. This network of tunnels once provided water to Akragas (present-day Agrigento) and dates back to the city's construction in 480 BC.
Walk through cavernous tunnels with a helmet and flashlight on this guided tour. Then, return to the world of the living and enjoy the fragrant garden of Kolymbethra. This ancient garden is alive with lush orchards, rocky edifices, and copious cacti that have stood the test of time.

Guida esperta, una fantastica esperienza ricca di dettagli che, senza una persona preparata, non avremmo mai potuto notare né apprezzare.

Una bellissima esperienza, però dovrebbe esserci una entrata autonoma perché abbiamo dovuto pagare anche il biglietto d’ingresso alla valle dei templi
