Exclusive Private Tour with licensed Local Guide and Top Class Mercedes Minivan starting from Agrigento (and area): Visit 2 UNESCO World Heritage Sites - the extraordinary Valley of the Temples in Agrigento and the Roman Villa in Piazza Armerina.
The Villa del Casale, 3rd Century, near Piazza Armerina is probably the finest and most extensive display of mosaics in the Roman world. North African art influenced style, both in composition and the choice of colorful polychrome materials. The mosaics include a long hunting scene, the famous sporting "bikini girls", and many classical and geometrical examples.
Agrigento: when it was called Akragas, Pindaro considered it to be "the most beautiful among mortal cities". These are among the greatest Greek ruins in the world, and the splendor of the temples in the Doric style, built during the fifth and sixth centuries BC.
