We will be in Agrigento for one night, Sept 29, '07. Any suggestions on good hotels, like good service, good bed, good breakfast, good staff, good location (near everything) and good room rates? Thanks for any comments.
I stayed in a crap (but central) hotel when I was there (see my Agrigento tip) so if I came again, I'd pick this one which I passed by and which is in the main street in the centre:

It is nice to stay the night in Agrigento itself rather than the Temple Valley with its tour buses and mafia run hotels without proper building permissions. Most tourists leave the town itself at night so it feels very Sicilian. Especially along a specific road where you have some bars overlooking the temples way down in the valley and people gathering for a drink in the evening :)
In February every year, as the trees bloom white, the almond is celebrated with a procession and lots of fun. I wish I could take time off one year and get to see this, as Sicilian almond products belong to the yummiest things in the world to me! :-)
Stretching beyond the Temple of Concord in great part taking advantage of the natural rock formation, this structure can also be seen from S115 belor to the south. More built details are along toward the Temple of Hera I am told.
To the left of the Church S, Nicolo is this structure. It looks like a small theater with its seats carved into the rock. It seats 300 and was built between 3-400BC. It was probably the meeting place of the city legislature.. Beyond it is a square tower called the Oratory of Phalaris(another misnomer) it was a shrine(2C BC) and was transformed into a Christian chapel.Across the back stretches the marvellous Museo.What did the Akragans do for fun (besides procreating}? Answer, more of the same. They bred horses and won numerous Olympic prizes (much of the fine mainland ceramic art and statuettes in the museum may have been trophies). Even though their trade involved hundreds of ships and made them wealthy, it must have required quite an outlay to send to Greece several chariots , horse-teams , crew and drivers to consistently win as history says they did. So the Akragans were the original NASCAR buffs. Is that why there is no theater here?
