The Agrigento City Guides deal with the questions every visitor here ends up asking: when to walk the Valley of the Temples so the sun does not beat you, where to eat pasta with sardines in the lanes of the old town, which beaches suit small children and how to reach the Scala dei Turchi without paying for the crowded rock itself. Each guide is a short, honest list that explains why a place deserves your time, what to order or look at and one practical tip, and it opens in your browser the moment you have paid.

Three places from the guides
Trattoria Concordia
Via Porcello 8, off Via Atenea
Tucked into a stepped alley, this little trattoria fills up fast because the bill stays fair. Order pasta with sardines and wild fennel or the almond pesto version, both around €10–12. From the food guide.
Monache Cistercensi di Santo Spirito
Cortile Santo Spirito, off Via Atenea
Cistercian nuns have lived here since 1299. Look at the white Baroque stucco in the church, then knock at the small door where they sell sweet pistachio couscous, almond biscuits and marzipan fruit. From the things to do guide.
Riserva Naturale di Punta Bianca
Between San Leone and Palma di Montechiaro, 25 min by car
A bright limestone headland with an empty beach at its foot and a ruin on the cliff top. Think of the Scala dei Turchi with no entry fee and hardly anyone else around. From the beaches and day trips guide.
Plan your days in Agrigento
Day one: enter the Valley of the Temples at the Juno gate as it opens, walk downhill past Concordia, cool off in the orange groves of the Kolymbethra garden and finish at the archaeology museum, then eat in a trattoria off Via Atenea. Day two: climb to the cathedral and Santa Maria dei Greci in the morning, buy sweets from the nuns of Santo Spirito, then head west to swim at Capo Rossello below the Scala dei Turchi and have fish at San Leone. For a rainy or slow day, mix the museum’s giant telamon, the Lucchesiana library and the art courtyards of Favara with a long gelato break at Le Cuspidi.
