These are just two of the most spectacular historical sites in Sicily. The temples in the Agrigento Valley easily compare to those I have seen in Greece. Our driver Alessandro dropped us off at the top of the valley allowing us a downhill walk through the park, and picked us up at the bottom. At the Villa Romana del Casale, the mosaics are beyond comparison to even those that are in the British Museum. Every room and hall was spectacularly ornamented. The women athlete room and the collection of the animals hall were the highlights. Our driver Alessandro couldn’t be better. He was first and foremost a safe smooth driver getting us through the cities, highways and back roads brilliantly. He was also friendly and informative all along the way with information about what we were about to see, but also the towns we went through and Italy in general.
