Valley of the Temples

The Temple of Concordia with it’s sandstone doric columns was magnificent and has never been destroyed.
Nearby is Gela where the greeks first landed BC and ironically so did the US in 1943.
Lunch was on a farm near Catania and included wine tasting of Palmento. An unscheduled stop at Scala dei Turchi was a pleasant surprise.
Arrived at Giardini Naxos late afternoon where we were in another package tour hotel with pool and characterless rooms. Beach was quite nice and we walked into the town for a pleasant dinner of meatballs (no sauce) at Sapori di Sicilia, a cute little wine bar cum deli.Meer informatie
