★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Stunning! Good history lesson and perfect exercise in one place;)
We chose not to take a bus up the hill to see theatre but walk. Worth it!☀️??

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Amazing experience. The temples are very suggestive and when we visited it was. It busy at all. We felt we were alone most of the time and could walk through and inside the temples rather then just seeing them from outside. Top!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Beautiful views. Great area for a hike, but one can also take a bus from the temple to the theatre.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A very beautiful place to visit.
If you don't usually hike, take the shuttle bus.
Only cost 2 euro more.
The 36 Doric columns of the beautiful temple believed to be Greek are all still standing today.
Between 430 and 420 BC However, it was built by the Elymians, pre-Greek inhabitants of Sicily. The approximately 61 m long and 26 m wide temple was probably dedicated to a deity or a cult.
The missing roof is striking. Experts disagree on the cause of this. Whether the structure was designed without a roof or not completed due to an attack on the city remains a matter of debate.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The temple and theatre are so beautiful. Although they are stretched on distant areas from one another, it is worth going on foot to watch the views from all corners. There is also a shuttle bus for the less adventurous.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I would say the temple itself is a five star...well worth the hike up a 300 yard hill. We loved it..it will make a good Xmas card pic . Bring a tripod to get a good picture. We were sold on the amphitheater by the ticket sales guy... He said it was the best part of park..if you have been to an amphitheater before this one is small and probably not worth the bus ride up the hill, whatever you do don't walk it..it will take forever and is a steep climb..only for those with lots of time and are in extra great shape.. pay the extra for the bus up if you must go.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A great location overlooking the bay with views from cliffs, gorges, marble quarrys and olive farms. It is almost appropriate with the last decades represented with a viaduct from the motorway dividing up the scenery. If you can you should walk up to the theater at the top. The hike among flowers and with beautiful scenery is marvelous.
