Appartamento in Agrigento

The Valle dei Templi archaeological park (ancient Greek temples) and its protected area lie within the municipality and inside 15 km; the park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The town sits a few kilometres inland from the southern Sicilian coast on the Mediterranean; the port and seaside settlement of Porto Empedocle lies immediately to the south of Agrigento. The white marl cliff known as the Scala dei Turchi and nearby sandy beaches on the coast are within about 10–15 km to the west. The surrounding territory is Mediterranean agricultural country — olive groves, citrus and cereal fields with low rolling hills and scattered farms. Agrigento itself (population ~55,000) is the local service centre with a hospital, train station and regional bus links. There are no ski lifts or mountain resorts within 15 km.
