Agrigento
Located on Sicily's southern coast overlooking the Mediterranean, Agrigento is one of the ancient world's most significant archaeological sites. Agrigento is home to the Valley of the Temples, one of the world's most impressive archaeological sites with the best-preserved Greek temples outside Greece – all recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Temple of Concordia ranks among the most completely preserved ancient buildings anywhere and glows golden in the setting sun. The nearby Scala dei Turchi, a white limestone rock formation by the sea, is one of Sicily's most photogenic natural wonders.
