Agrigento, believed by many to be even better than the Acropolis in Athens, is a mere three hours 20 minutes away from Pozzallo. Not the sort of distance for a day trip but an ideal place to visit on a long weekend.

Amazing Valle dei Templi (Valley of the Temples) has to be seen at night to be believed! Of course, sightseeing has to be done during the day, but a night visit with the floodlit temples is one to cherish.

The Valle is simply lined with temples, a truly extraordinary sight with The Tempio della Concordia, one of the many temples dating from around 400BC and still in pristine condition, taking pride of place. There is also a very good museum but nothing beats the Valle.

Lunch is always on the itinerary in Sicily and the best bet is to take a few minutes’ drive to the coastal resort of San Leone for a nice and reasonably-priced fish lunch.
