As you traverse this historical haven, from the early Christian Necropolis to the Olympieion, you'll uncover layers of history, offering a vibrant window into the grandeur of ancient Akragas and its successive eras.
The Valley is more than an archaeological marvel; it has been a source of inspiration for poets, philosophers, and artists for generations. Among its treasures, the Temple of Concordia stands as a testament to the architectural brilliance of the ancient world. Wander amidst the ruins, touch the ancient olive trees that have stood the test of time, and discover the enduring stories of faith, innovation, and survival.

What is a self-guided tour?
A self-guided tour is a type of tour where visitors explore a destination on their own using an audio guide or a map. Unlike a guided tour, visitors are not led by a tour guide and are free to choose their own pace and explore the sights that interest them the most. Self-guided tours offer more flexibility and freedom to visitors. They are a popular option for those who prefer to explore a destination independently.
Is a Walking Tour suitable for all ages?
The walking tour is suitable for all ages, but keep in mind that it involves a fair amount of walking and standing, so participants should be able to walk for at least 2.5 hours. Additionally, wearing comfortable walking shoes and bringing a water bottle can help ensure that you're comfortable throughout the tour
What is a Multilingual Audio tour?
A multilingual audio tour is a type of tour that provides visitors with audio guides in multiple languages. Visitors can use headphones to listen to the audio guide as they explore a destination, with the audio guide providing information about the sights, history, and culture of the area. The audio guides are typically pre-recorded and offer visitors the option to choose their preferred language.
