Valley of the Tourists

2.5 out of 5 starsHelpfulness

Well...the wonderful valley of the temples is what people come to Agrigento for (and miss the Sicilian city). When we were there it was fine but I am sure it can feel crowded at times when hoardes of coach tourists arrive. Otherwise, the main tourist trap of it is that the parking lot is full of people selling all sorts from sun hats to books to cheap African jewellery.

Unique Suggestions: Oh, as a tourist trap it's perfectly bearable.
