During our first weekend in Sicily, Tricia and I went to Agregento to visit the Valley of the Temples, one of the most impressive remnants of the Grecian Sicily.
We drove about 2 hours from Catania to get to Agregento. Trish was excited to get out of the city and get some pictures of the countryside, even if mostly from the car. Rural Sicily really is quite charming, especially with Mt. Etna rising over top of the fields.
Tricia and I arrived at Agregento around mid-day, and immediately I regretted not having shorts. It was at least 80F and I was wearing jeans. Walking up the hill was breathtaking as you passed the stone monuments from ages ago.
The best preserved of the temples is the Temple of Concordia, which was once used as a church.
After walking through the entire site but before returning to the car, Tricia and I enjoyed a well-deserved Granita and water before heading back to Catania.
