Much more than an archaeological site: a unique experience - Selinunte is not simply an archaeological park, but a real sensory experience. Walking among the imposing ruins of Doric temples, with the roar of the sea in the background and the scent of wild herbs, gives a magical and timeless atmosphere. The majesty of Temple E, rebuilt in anastylosis, literally leaves you breathless by its proportions. Also very interesting is the museum set up inside the Baglio Florio, where the numerous finds found during excavations are carefully kept, fundamental to understand the daily life of the ancient colony. To reach the Acropolis there is a convenient shuttle service for a fee, ideal to cover the wide distances of the site. Continuing even further, you reach the area of the sanctuary of Malophoros, a suggestive place located higher up. It is a visit that leaves deep emotions for anyone who appreciates the charm of history.

Temple of ERA - The Archaeological Park of Selinunte, located on the southwestern coast of Sicily, is one of the largest and most fascinating archaeological sites in the Mediterranean. Walking among its ruins means immersing yourself in a journey back in time of over 2,500 years, when Selinunte was a powerful Greek colony, strategically placed between sea and plain. The park is extensive and well-organized, with paths winding through Doric temples, acropolises, necropolises and remains of the ancient walls. The atmosphere is made unique by the intense light of Sicily and the scent of the sea that crashes not far away, creating a suggestive combination of history and nature.

Clamber around - Stunning temple site with plenty to clamber around. Wear tennis shoes! Allow a little time for a beer at the cafe. Great at sunset.

A wonderful journey back in time. - In the Province of Trapani, in Castelvetrano, there is the splendid archaeological site of ancient Selinunte. The temple you meet first is dedicated to Athena, majestic and still well preserved. You can admire column after column, capital after capital. It is difficult to remain indifferent, especially when you think of how many centuries have passed and, although time has not been forgiving due to the carelessness of previous centuries, you can not fail to appreciate and admire these unique, rare and incredible masterpieces. The park is huge. Moving up the hill to visit the Acropolis you can see the sea as a backdrop or frame, unique in its kind. The route is easy but, for those who have difficulty in locomotion, or simply for the lazy, there is the possibility to move from one temple to another with the golf cart and a train, which however was not yet active in April. And last but not least, inside the park you can admire the splendid Baglio dei Florio, inside which there is a small but interesting museum.

Wonderful Sicily - Wonderful archaeological park an2 steps from the sea with remains of temples necropolis and beautiful acropolis. You can visit on foot, renting bicycles or with the internal shuttle service. I recommend spending at least half a day at the visit given the breadth.

Nice family experience - Nice family experience: the visit was enjoyed by both me and my wife and my children, it was also fun because we did the whole tour renting bikes and following the audio guides included. Doing it by bike the ride was also not tiring compared to doing it all on foot. Improved management of admissions and online bookings.

Disappointing - Visit performed on 26 September. Arrived at the entrance at 1 p.m. Entrance ticket € 17,00. We ask for audio guides and they say they can’t give them to us, because it’s too late (the park closes at 5pm 🤨🤔😡). Then they tell us that the park is vast, then we ask for bikes. Admission and bikes cost € 40.00 but there is can rent them, always for the same reason 🤔🤨😡. So they propose electric cars, but we don't care. So we make the visit on foot and without guides (luckily there is some sign). In the end we understand little and we see only a temple and a colonnade, upright, everything else lies ruinously on the ground, without any care. The only augmented reality station is down. Disappointing visit.

It is always the direction that ruins architectural excellence. - I awarded 1 star out of 5 because I am bitter and despondent by the direction of this archaeological site. Nothing to say to the landscape because , of course the photos speak for themselves. The star is given to the inefficiency of management and the NON-EXISTENT HYGIENE CONDITIONS IN WHICH PUBLIC TOILETS FIND THEMSELVES. I understand not having to flush used paper down the toilet, but walking into a bathroom and finding baskets full of defecate and urinated paper is not great. I understand everything but not the question that after 100naia visitors you do not find a half hour to sanitize the bathrooms that are a right of ALL, after paying a substantial entrance fee. Who wants to visit the park, nothing to say, but if you need the toilet better not come.
