Agrigento, or the greek part of Italy

It isnt a secret that for a long time Sicily was part of Greece, and greek people left a lot of foodsteps after them, and the biggest place where you can see them is Agrigento, where i went on my last week in Sicily.

Agrigento was on the other side of Sicily so i had to take first bus that was at 6 am,but because of it i saw hourse on th emain strett in Catania and Etna at sunrise - nice, right?) Also roads in Sicily are quite high so we were driving in fog, even through it, and sometimes it was possible to see villages that were higher than fog, so they were like islands in the sea of fog XD Then i woke up in Agrigento.

Of course from the bus station i went strightly to the ruins. You know, i love ancient history, so there i felt so good, so in the right place. There you can see real history, all thiese ruins are like symbols of once most powerfull country in the world who failed, and you really understand tha you are in the same place where people where thousanda years ago, and this feeling is really great. You know i loved that place that much that i found there some old piece of some building and took some sunbath XD

But after i went to the city of Agrigento and i hated it. It was very emrty, everything was closed, i even couldn't find place to eat! And city in general is quite ugly and forgotten, so i escaped from there as fast as i could. But on my way back i saw rainbow, what made me understand again why i love sicily so much =)
