🍕If you enjoyed our guided tour and would like to help fuel us on our adventure through Italy, you can buy us a small pizza! 😊🇮🇹buymeacoffee.com/theglobalexpats Next up, we take a short trip to the contrasting white limestone cliffs of the Turkish Steps!
I live in Sicily and have taken many tourists to the valley of the temples but each time was like the first!! It's one of my favourite spots.. Love your videos!
On our driving trip to Southern Italy 3 years ago we had to limit our travels. The Valley of the Temples was one spot that we did not get to in Sicily. I have always regretted that decision but you have now shown me what we missed and I thank you for such a lovely tour. Grazie mille from Western Canada.
Ancient Greek: Ἀκράγας, romanized: Akrágas; Latin: Agrigentum or Acragas. It was one of the leading cities of Magna Graecia during the golden age of Ancient Greece with population estimates in the range of 200,000 to 800,000 before 406 BC.
excellent video. i did not know of that place. i am going to sicily in sept and will add that to my list of places to visit. 500 BC WOW! thanks for the tip about the taxi/parking lot and for all the other interesting info.
Hey MF, thank you very much for the pizza, we appreciate it tremendously! 🍕 Definitely visit Agrigento when you are in Sicily and we are happy that we are able to help make your trip planning a little easier! 🥰
My family is from Agrigento a small town called Ribera ….. I remember visiting the valley of the temples many times it’s stunning! Make sure you visit the Scala de turkey near bye it’s absolutely stunning
i visited the temples of Agrigento with school when i was a kid, so a lot of years ago! with your video you made me want to revisit them! really good! I know there are night visits in the summer.
Love your videos and the journey! I've recently acquired Italian citizenship through lineage, my Grandparents were from Naro, Sicily. I'm going for a two month visit later this year and you've showed me so much that I want to see. Thanks!
Wow! You guys rock. I love how you tell stories about my home - Sicily. If you like medieval history, I would suggest heading to Parco Delle Madonie. You can visit Petralia Soprana - a town that was named Il più bello borgo d’Italia in 2019. Castelbuono, Isnello, Geraci Siculo are very nice towns along with Collesano - town well known for the Targa Florio - historic cars racing - and the ceramic
12:15 and beyond - Imagine being a slave brought in after one of the wars that SPQR waged in North Africa and then seeing these beautiful, man decimating buildings. Must have left the same impression of seeing that for yourself for the first time, but then 10x multiplied. Epic and beautiful !
During the summer it's possible to do evening tours as well. The colours of the temples and the entire valley on sunset light are gorgeous. It's worth to do. Btw nice video.
It all started in Latin America. Chocolate's 4,000-year history began in ancient Mesoamerica, present day Mexico. It's here that the first cacao plants were found. The Olmec, one of the earliest civilizations in Latin America, were the first to turn the cacao plant into chocolate.
Love it guys! Mateo must be wearing a new shirt can see wear the sticker was, haha. Mateo be smiling all the time, clearly I would be too if I was in Sicily with a smoking hot woman on my arm. Cheers Kirk
Hahaha thank you for the observation Kirk, it was a new shirt! 🤣 You are right, what a perfect way to put it & I totally agree 😂 Thank you for the support as always!

A totally exaggerated figure -would have been about fifty thousand at the most .
This was such a magical place. I went there with my son and his Dad, and I felt a vibe like no other. One of my favorite places in Sicily

A truly insane thing to think about, it is still jaw-dropping so I cannot imagine what it would've been like back in the day! 😅
I was there and it was fantastic...
Check the beech in the area !
That's awesome Frank! The beach video will be out tomorrow 🥰
During the summer it's possible to do evening tours as well.
