Day 7 – Noto – Agrigento
We spent the morning enjoying Noto, taking a final walk through its baroque streets before driving west towards Agrigento. The main reason to visit Agrigento is the Valley of the Temples, which we explored after arrival. The site is extensive, so it’s best to allow a few hours to see the main temples and take in the surrounding landscape. Tickets can be purchased at the entrance or online in advance, and there is also an option for a combined ticket that includes the archaeological museum. A standard adult entry ticket to the archaeological park costs €14. Seeing the ancient temples set against the open countryside was impressive and offered a very different atmosphere compared to the other places we had visited in Sicily. We stayed at La Terrazza sulla Valle, which I can highly recommend. If you book a room with a balcony, you’ll have a direct view of the Valley of the Temples, an unforgettable way to end the day.
