An evening in old Agrigento

We got to the old part of Agrigento, where it took a bit of a sweat to find a place to park and then get to the rented premises with the suitcase. We are staying at a place called B&B Athena Comfort.

It turns out that even 3 hours before departure, it is not too much time to get through the formalities and good German security control and be able to breathe over coffee and beer in the airport lounge. Ou...

Last supper

Moderate prices and warm and eficient service despite  the 100% occupancy. Some eat pizzas (the vegetarian one, the best in the world), some soup with mussels , and ot...
