The Valley is amongst the most evocative sites of the Greek world and one of the most impressive complex outside the Greece. We will visit the temples which stand on the high ridge overlooking the sea, walking the Sacred Way and discovering the magnificence of the Concordia Temple, which was converted in a Christian church in the 6th century and because of that spared from much of the devastation which afflicted the site over the centuries. Also you will walk between the Temple of Zeus ruins, the largest temple built by the Greeks, destroyed to build the harbour of the near town of Porto Empedocle. After lunch we will Visit the famous Villa Romana del Casale which keeps the finest collection of Roman polychrome mosaics, depicting scenes of hunting and recreation, and also representing mythological and historical episodes.
