About this tour
Skip the coach queues and explore Agrigento at your own pace with a private driver who knows the region intimately. You'll be collected from your Taormina accommodation in a comfortable Mercedes and driven to the Valley of the Temples, where Doric columns and ancient Greek sanctuaries rise against olive groves. Afterwards, head to Scala dei Turchi, the dramatic white limestone cliffs that plunge into the Tyrrhenian Sea. Your English-speaking Sicilian driver shapes the day around what interests you most, making this a genuine escape rather than a tick-box tour.

What to expect
Your driver arrives at your hotel in the morning and handles all navigation. The Valley of the Temples rewards a slow wander—allow yourself to sit among the ruins, study the craftsmanship, absorb the scale of what the ancient Greeks built here. The Scala dei Turchi is a shorter drive south; the white cliffs photograph spectacularly in late afternoon light, and many visitors swim or paddle in the shallows below. Your driver won't rush you at either stop. Travel time is built into the full duration, so expect stretches of motorway and winding coastal roads. The day is shaped by your preferences—ask for a lunch stop, a viewpoint detour, or extra time at either site.
Good to know
Temple entrance fees aren't included; budget €10 for the archaeological site. Wear comfortable walking shoes for uneven ground around the ruins. Bring swimwear if you fancy a dip at Scala dei Turchi. The Mercedes is spacious and air-conditioned, with bottled water provided throughout.
