🍕If you enjoyed our guided tour and would like to help fuel us on our adventure through Italy, you can buy us a small pizza! 😊🇮🇹buymeacoffee.com/theglobalexpats Next up, we take a short trip to the contrasting white limestone cliffs of the Turkish Steps!

On our driving trip to Southern Italy 3 years ago we had to limit our travels. The Valley of the Temples was one spot that we did not get to in Sicily. I have always regretted that decision but you have now shown me what we missed and I thank you for such a lovely tour. Grazie mille from Western Canada.

Ancient Greek: Ἀκράγας, romanized: Akrágas; Latin: Agrigentum or Acragas. It was one of the leading cities of Magna Graecia during the golden age of Ancient Greece with population estimates in the range of 200,000 to 800,000 before 406 BC.

A totally exaggerated figure -would have been about fifty thousand at the most .

Wow! You guys rock. I love how you tell stories about my home - Sicily. If you like medieval history, I would suggest heading to Parco Delle Madonie. You can visit Petralia Soprana - a town that was named Il più bello borgo d’Italia in 2019. Castelbuono, Isnello, Geraci Siculo are very nice towns along with Collesano - town well known for the Targa Florio - historic cars racing - and the ceramic

It all started in Latin America. Chocolate's 4,000-year history began in ancient Mesoamerica, present day Mexico. It's here that the first cacao plants were found. The Olmec, one of the earliest civilizations in Latin America, were the first to turn the cacao plant into chocolate.

I was there and it was fantastic... Check the beech in the area !

12:15 and beyond - Imagine being a slave brought in after one of the wars that SPQR waged in North Africa and then seeing these beautiful, man decimating buildings. Must have left the same impression of seeing that for yourself for the first time, but then 10x multiplied. Epic and beautiful !
