After pickup from your Palermo hotel, settle in to your comfortable vehicle for a journey across the island of Sicily to Taormina. Without the stress that comes with navigating unfamiliar roads, you can relax and unwind as you travel and enjoy the scenery along the way.
First, pull up at the UNESCO-listed archaeological area of Agrigento, an ancient Greek city that is set on a vast plateau overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. After paying your entrance fee, enter the Valley of the Temples and stroll down the main artery of Via Sacra. Get up close to the temple ruins and imagine how the Greek city would have appeared in its heyday. Look out for the Temple of Concordia, an immaculately-preserved temple that dates back to the 5th century BC.
Head back out on the road for the next leg of the journey, which will take you to Piazza Armerina, home to the ruins of the UNESCO-listed Villa Romana del Casale. After paying a fee to enter, admire its stunning collection of intact mosaics, which include a 196-foot (60-meter) hunting scene and the famous Bikini Girls mosaic. After exploring, free time for a fast lunch (own expense).
From Piazza Armerina, venture east toward Taormina, where you’ll be dropped off at your hotel come late afternoon.
Please note: Your driver will not accompany you into the ancient monuments and sites. He will wait for you at the vehicle watching your luggage.
