Holidays in Agrigento

An introduction to Agrigento

Culture vultures will be bowled over by holidays in Agrigento. Whilst this charming town blends old and new, it's best known for its incredible historical heritage.

Hailed as the 'most beautiful City of mortals' by the Greek writer Pindar, Agrigento was once a hub of the Greek empire. Today's visitors can experience something of what it was like at its remarkable Valley of Temples. Here, the sun-baked vestiges of houses, temples and theatres sprinkle the hills, a treasure-trove for sightseers. And in the town below, there's a beautiful Gothic cathedral, buzzing piazza and good selection of shops and eateries to make your holiday in Agrigento even more memorable.

Yet Agrigento holidays can be about the beach too. When you fancy sunbathing and swimming, the area of San Leone has golden sands and bustling cafes and fish restaurants. Come evening, the same venues light up the night, although the mood remains generally low-key.

And of course, there are always the attractions of your hotel. This is where you'll find Thomson properties like the beachside Dioscuri Bay Palace and Jolly Hotel Della Valle, both brilliant for couples wanting relaxed sightseeing breaks. Combine these with Thomson's great summer getaways and last-minute deals, and holidays in Agrigento don't come much better.
