In half an hour driving you can be in the Valle dei Templi di Agrigento, a UNESCO world heritage, with some of the better preserved greek temple of the world built on the edge of a cliff dominating the valley and, on the background, the sea. And on the way to the temples, you can have a stop at "Scala dei Turchi", a bright white cliff diving in a crystalline sea.
In 20 km you can be in the archelogical area of Eraclea Minoa, with a very interesting museum and the greek theatre built on the edge of Capo Bianco a white headland dividing the two beaches of Minoa and Foce del Fiume Platani (a natural preseved area with an 8km golden sand beach between the river and the sea)
