"Segesta The ancient archeological site of Segesta was once a major city of Sicily’s original Elymian people, who adopted much of their culture from the Greeks. Among the ruins at Segesta is a wonderfully intact Greek-style temple and an outdoor amphitheater. The marks of Sicily’s long history can be found here in the foundations of later structures, including a Norman fortress, a church and a mosque."

The entrance fee is not cheap, but the view is priceless. Unfortunately, not all buildings have been preserved. Traces of a fire can be seen. The church holds wonderful memories and has a special energy. We walked up on foot. The transfer is not cheap either. This is a good starting point for beginner hikers. 😛 We really enjoyed the view and the walk. Not even the rain could dampen our good mood. Thank you for the opportunity to see this place!

Powerful place, highly recommend to visit it if you have an opportunity to do it 🫶 Some energy inside which you can feel it trough the history. Amphitheater where decoration is a nature, you can walk there 25 min or take the bus (it was late spring’s an experience)

We had a really nice time here, when you arrive you have the option to walk or pay extra for the bus to the attractions. It’s a 25min walk up some fairly steep hills but it’s totally worth it! The views are spectacular and the history is amazing to ready about.

It's a long trek, but it'd be a shame to miss it. It's something that everyone should experience and get the feeling of life years ago. One of many temples in the world. A glimpse of the past. We visited it on a week day.

Excellent place to visit if you don’t have time to see the valley of the temples. Nearly a complete theatre is up the second hill as well, in incredible condition. Very worth a visit.

The temple itself and the village ruins are very beautiful and worth a visit. The small museum also explains the history and background. You’ll definitely enjoy the views of the theatre and the temple. Breathtaking. What I did find quite weird is that the already high admission fee (€12) does not include the shuttle up to the ruins. Either you pay extra or walk up for at least 25 minutes.

Bit expensive entrance fee of 12 euros, but it's worth the views and historical sites. Beautiful vistas, old ruins, green nature. Expect uphill hiking. 💪.

Small t min walk from the car park. Great view down into the gorge with small creek. There are information boards in English and Italuan and some even in German and French.
