AGRIGENTO (Scala dei Turchi & Valley of the Temples) - Italy (Sicily) 🇮🇹 [4K video]

Video and photos in 4K I have made with iPhone 14 Pro during my trip in 2023 to Agrigento, Scala dei Turchi and Valley of the Temples in Sicily, Italy, including videos taken with my drone Dji Mini 3 Pro. The video includes the following highlights: the Scala dei Turchi with its white cliffs and its adjacent beaches; aerial views of the city of Agrigento; the Valley of the Temples, in particular the ruins of the Temple of Concordia and the Temple of Juno, with aerial views taken at night; Lido Marinella in Porto Empedocle Beach.
As always thank you for watching and for your great comments!

Swiss Travel Channel is a UA-cam channel of my holiday’s trips videos, taken all around the world since 2008. Some are for pure tourism and others are more of an adventure. The videos usually show the top best tourist attractions, the top things to do and top places to see. The goal is to inspire others on their next vacations. The videos can also be seen as a guide to have an idea of the main highlights and places to explore. I love to take pictures of the nature, traditions and different cultures, to search the must-see spots and show the essentials in my videos, for this reason I always try to create the perfect vacation. Traveling is more than a hobby for me, is a way of life.

Agrigento (source Wikipedia):
Agrigento is an Italian municipality of 55,252 inhabitants, the capital of the free municipal consortium of the same name in Sicily.
Founded around 581 BC, Agrigento stands in an area where the various peoples who left their mark on the island settled. Already home to indigenous peoples who maintained commercial relations with the Aegeans and Mycenaeans, the Agrigento territory saw the rise of the polis of Akragas (Ἀκράγας), founded by Geloans of Rhodian-Cretan origin.
It reached its maximum splendor in the 5th century BC, before the decline started by the war with Carthage. During the Punic Wars it was conquered by the Romans, who Latinized the name into Agrigentum.
Subsequently it fell under Arab rule, with the name of Kerkent, and in 1089 it was conquered by the Normans, who renamed it Girgenti, a name it kept until 1927 when it was renamed with its current toponym.
Until 1853 its territory also included today's municipality of Porto Empedocle.
It is known as the City of Temples for its expanse of Doric temples of the ancient Greek city located in the so-called Valley of the Temples, included among the UNESCO World Heritage Sites in 1997. Agrigento has been named Italian Capital of Culture for 2025.
