Read our mini guide to Agrigento
Located on a plateau overlooking Sicily's southern coast, Agrigento has a certain charm. Highlights in the city centre are the fourteenth century Romanesque Gothic cathedral and the thirteenth-century Church of San Nicola. The Greek Valley of the Temples are located outside the city proper surrounded by olive groves
and almond orchards.
Sciacca is dominated by Mount San Calogero and remains untouched by mass tourism.
The town centre architecture is steeped in history with Moorish whitewashed buildings. The ancient alleys, some of which are only one person wide and squares are dotted with restaurants serving delicious seafood.
Also worth a visit are the natural steam vents of San Calogero, 7 km away from the town centre. The vapours are said to cure rheumatism, skin diseases, gynaecological problems and allergies.
