    Agrigento is the best ! Just came back and did not anticipate the breathtaking beauty of Sicily . Wish we had only spent our whole trip in Sicily . I’ve been to Italy three times as a fortunate traveler but this is the most beautiful, complex and rich part of Italy .

    How lovely that Martin is reconnecting with family and you, Juliana, get to meet them and Sicily for the first time! It looks beautiful there and that rock cliff area looks fantastic! The food looks amazing except that last french fry sausage sandwich, I think I'll pass on that one, lol. Looking forward to your next installment!

    I just subscribed; I don't often do that because so many homemade travel videos are more irritating that informative (maybe my own too?). 🙂 I'm glad to have discovered you. You're both very charming and full of great information! I've traveled quite a bit in Italy but I'm visiting Sicily for the first time in late April 2024 and your videos of Agrigento and Palermo kept me riveted to the screen. I can't wait to check out your other materials and I will definitely use them to inform myself of all there is to see in Sicily. Thank-you for your creative work and buon viaggio!

    I love this video ! I was born in Citta’ Palermo and will be returning there this year for good. I have cousins in Castelvitrano and Marcella. To me there is no place on earth as beautiful as Western Sicily ! Keep up the good work and maybe we will run into each other in Agrigento some day soon. P.S. I have friends in Agrigento !

    Hi, I remember a Mexican (Italian to English) translator on a program about a Reno with Lorraine Brocco when she was in Sambuca when she purchased a home for 1 Euro. I believe Sambuca is in the same Provence. Is there a connection?

    Correction. Greeks didn't conquer the city. They settled it.
