This beautiful Sunday morning what more apt than to tell you about the Valley of Greek Temples at Agrigento on the Italian island of Sicily. We visited this site on a very hot day. There was very little cover so we walked from the top right down to the bottom in the blistering heat. It was around 36C (96.8F). At one point I felt a bit dizzy so downed half a bottle of water which helped to cool me down a little.
The photo is one of a temple that might be recognisable as the symbol for the United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organisation. UNESCO

@garymarsh6 There is a middle way between a tiny and a massive review IMHO.

There is much to learn of course and hopefully it has whet your appetite to find out! I don't think mylot is a site to give massive reviews just snippets. I knew as I was typing it that there was so much to write about it but I will save that for elsewhere!

It is one of seven temples this one is the most intact. The others are basically ruins!

Haha yes we like to go to hot places and those in hot places like to come to cool down!

@garymarsh6 I recommend Cambodia.
Cambodia is extremely hot and dry. When you travel there for a few days, you can lose a few pounds simply because you are drying out under the hot sun.
Angkor Wat is worth a visit!

@scheng1 I have been to Cambodia and found that to be the hottest most uncomfortable place I have ever been. Angkor Wat was so wonderful it actually made me cry seeing it for the first time! It is even worse than Singapore my friend!

We were in Italy but no one told us about this place. Actually it was a package tour and covered Rome, Pisa and Venice No one told us about the Gelato ice cream too.

OH my word no one told you about the delicious ice cream. I would suggest they were trying to keep it secret so they could have it all for themselves! Ha there is much to Italy that is waiting to be discovered! I hope you get the chance to return!

@wiLLmaH Yes I have been to see them. It is really well worth going to China to see these marvellous things.

@wiLLmaH The Great Wall of China is amazing as are the Terracotta Warriors and so are the pyramids of Giza you will be stunned by them!

It certainly does Anna. There was a big Greek settlement there centuries ago and they left this legacy!

It certainly does but then look at the Pyramids these days being encroached by Pizza Hut and KFC can you believe.

It sounds like a hot but beautiful place to visit. I've never been anywhere outside of the Americas except to a few islands here and there. My husband is of Greek decent and we plan on visiting next year but are watching the economy too.

Your Dollar will hopefully buy a lot while you are there it is much stronger against the Euro and the pound at the moment,
