ahr:82 max:122
Walking up and back in the Valley of the Temples at Agrigento. Most impressive ancient structures, especially Temple of Concordia which given it is over 2,500 years old, with a quick reno in 600AD to keep it up!
Lots of other interesting ruins and bits of temples.
Alexander Hardcastle an English gentleman did much to preserve the site, and live in a modest villa in the middle of the Greek ruins, quite a typical eccentric English man one can imagine.

La Rocca - Cefalu
Another showery day, made an attempt to summit La Rocca a challenge to find a window between the showers. A dry spell worked for the climb up for excellent views of the coast and town, the remains of the castle were somewhat underwhelming, of course the showers returned making a careful walk down on the slippery rocks.

From Castelmora to Monte Venere
Steep climb up old roads and past isolated farm houses. Merges to a waymarked trail that has seen better days but quite easy to follow and the ALLTrails app keeps you on route nicely
Some nice views but Etna still a shadow through the cloud, would a be great view of the Mountain if it was clear. Lots of flowers in the meadows.
Saw several other people hiking up.
