Heraclea Minoa

Italy

Heraclea Minoa is a small village named after its Greek ruins on the south coast of Agrigento province in Sicily, Italy, half way between the towns of Sciacca to the north-west and Porto Empedocle and Agrigento to the south-east.

  • The ruins. They are not that impressive - a semi-circular open air theatre and a few buildings - but the setting of a hill overlooking a sweeping beach, backed by a narrow band of pine trees, more than makes up for it.

  • Venture down to the beach through the pine trees and relax in or outside one of the two bars.
