Known as a bridge between the East and West, thanks to its geographic location on the northwestern shore of Sicily, this Italian city is the island`s center of tourism. Travelers will discover plenty of historic and cultural attractions in Palermo - the result of a long and dramatic history of conquest.
Years of transitioning between Phoenician, Arab, Byzantine, and Roman rule can be seen today in a city full of souk-like bazaars, diverse architectural styles, and a large variety of cuisine.

Agrigento was built in the hilly countryside just off the southern coast of Sicily, on top of the ancient Greek colong town of Akragas. It is known for impressive Greek temples. Located just outside of the city, the Valley of the Temples (Parco Archeologico Valle dei Templi) is the site of the best-preserved Doric temples outside Greece.
