阿克里真托考古区

RiverCrow

去阿克里真托玩的时候,我和我老婆请了旅行社(www.sicilytravel.net/Agrigento_tours.htm)的一个私人导游Michele Gallo带我们去神殿之谷和考古博物馆参观,这家旅行社是《孤星:西西里岛》上面推荐的。我们去那里玩得很开心!Michele来酒店门口接我们,然后开车送我们去了考古公园和考古博物馆。Michele懂很多考古方面的知识,对罗马和希腊的历史也是如数家珍。我觉得以后肯定很难再发现一个这么细心、这么了解我们兴趣的导游了。他收费也很合理。Michele让我们对阿克里真托多了一份感情。我们强烈推荐他。

首先,我赞成这个地区包含一些美丽的寺庙,然而,我认为这是一种非常商业化的做法,因为除了阳光和空气,这里的所有东西都是收费的。东部停车场(途经克里斯皮)是非常拥挤的,当然,只要你支付了3欧元,你就可以把车停在山谷的任何一侧。联合入口流域和考古博物馆收费5欧元-同样,你可以做到。一张简易地图的价格大概在1-2欧元之间,(当然,这要看你是跟谁买了)使用停车场和和谐寺庙的洗手间同样也是收费的。难道门票不应该包括这些吗?如果你想去博物馆,把车停在其指定的停车区的车辆需额外支付3欧元,或者你可以再多付一点使用一辆电动车,太逗了,你会这样做吗?BTW,,如果你再把你的车开远一点,你可以免费把你的车停在下一个靠近埃索油站的三角人行道上,从这里只需步行2分钟。

这庙宇和废墟简直太惊人了。这些庙宇废墟绝对是世界上保存得最好的。遗址遍布很广,需要步行一段时间。大部分的招牌都退色了,很旧,所有的招牌都是意大利式的。没有其他语言的标记或小册子。我们是9月末来到这里的,一直都有阳光。很少有阴凉处。我真不敢想象仲夏的时候会有多炎热。在西西里岛的大部分地方,工作人员都不会自愿提供额外的信息,尤其是你意大利语不怎么好的情况下。我们在买票(看废墟的门票)之后才知道的,而且博物馆在几英里之外(无法走过去),那天还提早关门,如果我们去博物馆之后再回来去废墟,我们还得付停车费。不过博物馆还是很棒的,值得一去。

参观西西里的游客一定要去这里。那里很热,去那里也很艰难,但你一定要去。我们的导游Luigi Naples的个很棒的当地人-他带领我们进行了这趟旅行。

没有什么能比得上你所看见的这些华丽的遗迹了。它们真的很宏伟!如果你的时间表可以调整的话,那么我建议你还是淡季的时候来比较好,因为到了淡季,天气会凉爽一些,游客也少得多。我们是3月末去的那儿,中午的时候,艳阳高照,所以我都能想象到到了6月会热成什么样。游客不算多,可是如果我们在那儿等着,先让他们出来,拍完照,我们就可以清清静静地观赏寺庙了。真的太爽了。如果你可以调整好时间,而且可以在春天旅游的话,那么你就可以在意大利文化周的时候来西西里玩一玩。在文化周期间,大多数的文化景点都是免费的。我们之前并不知道这点,所以当我们到达那儿知道这个消息之后,感觉捡到了馅饼似的。去寺院谷和陶尔米娜的希腊剧院都是免费的。我觉得这个文化周的日期每年都在变,但都是在春天举行。

We spent an entire afternoon going through out the site. Note this requires a lot of walking and some hill climbing. The quality of the ruins is outstanding and should not be missed.

It was the best don' t miss it. Take your time and enjoy the walking and all it has to offer. It may be a lot of walking but you can take your time and rest if you need to.

Though a bit out of the way (southwest coast of Sicily), it can be made part of a full day excursion also including the Roman Mosaics at Villa Romana del Casale in Piazza Armerina. The Valley of the Temples is in Agrigento. The four main temple sites are truly inspiring and hold some of the best preserved temples outside of Rome and Greece. Expect about 2hrs for the temple visit and 1 1/2 for the Mosaics. Getting there is about 2 1/2 hrs from Taormina and then 1 1/2 hrs to Agrigento. We did it, stayed overnight in Agrigento, then went to Palermo. You can do that or go in reverse but the total trip including pit stops and lunch was from 8:30 am to 5 pm.

The weather was beautiful when I visited, about 2 hours before sunset. The temples are very impressive and the remote location is spectacular. The light was perfect at this time of day. Go on a sunny day, maybe take a picnic, and you will love it.

This was quite amazing to see. It is a lot of walking so be prepared. No maps or brochures are handed out but there are some signs in English as well as Italian near the major sights. You can get pretty close to the monuments for pictures and even get on a few. Definitely one of the highlights of the trip.

It was quite an experience to walk around the buildings that were built centuries ago. Full of historic significance and well worth the exercise of going uphill.

This whole area has an almost sacred atmosphere, hard to believe that people have lived here already for so long! However the almost 1000 (!) year old olive trees that stand around prove that this really is the case.

The archaeological park is well laid out with easy walking paths taking you past 2,500 years of history. I recommend the cafeteria below the Temple of Concord. The food was not bad and the setting was wonderful.

We are big fans of Greek temples and these are the equal of those at Paestum. The setting here is more spectacular with the sea in the background. It's a great visit in the off-season. Park at the museum and walk one of the paths down to the temples.

Thoroughly enjoyed the visit, it was quiet in February so we were able to wander slowly and absorb the history. The valley has a perfect little cafe in the middle to sit, reflect, relax. There was very little information readily available for non-Italian speakers and we had to ask for a map of the temples - extra €1 - which was useful. By accident we parked at the bottom car park, Hargreaves, and from there we took a €3 taxi, which was all ready and waiting, to the top end and the main entrance. This worked well as we then walked through the valley slowly, to to bottom, and back to the €3 car park. But do take some information and read up on the site, it makes the visit excellent.
