Ancient Greek Tour – Akragas

“They lived as if they were to die tomorrow and built as if they were to live for ever”, this is what Empedocles said about Akragas, the richest Greek town of that age. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, known also as the Valley of the Temples it has one of the best preserved Greek Doric Temples in the world, the Concordia Temple.
