While this wonderful and expansive archaeological park may not be as popular as the Valley of Temples in Agrigento, I enjoyed it more. It's truly a magnificent and no less significant site than Agrigento. I took nearly 500 photos on my visit and I still didn't get to all of the major sights here. Due perhaps to its far Southwest location here, it's a lot less busy than other archaeological sites in the Southeast.

The largest UNESco archaeological world Heritage site in Europe set over a beautifully kept area leading onto the coast. This iconic UNESCO site features eight temples constructed between 510 BC and 430 BC. The Temple of Concordia is amazing-remarkably intact after 2,500 years and wonderful to walk around. I visited one afternoon in October 2025. Not many people around - it felt like we had the temple to ourselves! I purchased a ticket for the site and a bus that covered half the site. If I were to come again I would plan a whole day trip. It cost €25 for entry and ride for half the site, but I thought it was worth it.

Such an impressive place! The Archaeological Park of Selinunte is huge and absolutely fascinating. When we visited, there were only a few people around, so it felt peaceful and almost magical. You can walk (and even climb a bit) around the ancient ruins, which makes it even more special. For those who don’t want to walk too far, there’s a shuttle service super convenient. Definitely worth a visit! 🏛️☀️🇮🇹

Absolutely magnificent ancient Greek site! Selinunte is an incredible journey back in time. The sheer scale of the ruins and the fascinating architectural variety of the temples are truly awe-inspiring. From the colossal Temple G to the more delicately preserved structures, each site offers a unique glimpse into the sophisticated building techniques of the ancient Greeks. You can easily spend hours marveling at the columns, foundations, and reconstructed elements. For those planning to explore on foot, be prepared for a substantial trek – the full round trip can be around 10 km. I highly recommend bringing sun protection (hat, sunscreen, sunglasses), especially during warmer months, as there's limited shade. However, a fantastic alternative is to utilize the golf cart service that ferries visitors between the various sites. While it costs a bit more, it's a very comfortable and efficient way to see everything, especially if you have mobility concerns or are short on time. A welcome bonus is the presence of small cafes at each major site. They offer a great opportunity to recharge with refreshing beverages and surprisingly tasty paninis. It's the perfect way to break up your exploration and enjoy a snack amidst the ancient splendor. Don't miss Selinunte – it's a truly unforgettable experience!

Day trip from Marsala. Nice park to visit. Almost no visitors. Some areas are still covert by vegetation. Because of this you don’t see the ruins very well. Keep in mind if you want to walk and see all the sights it will be a 10km walk. Take some water and snacks if you plan to walk everything.

Huge and interesting place, big bonus is that you can walk inside the temple to admire the size of it even better. Note for people with reduced mobility...bring your foldable chair with you, very few benches available.

Wow! I had not been to the Selinunte park for years and went back in mid July. The area is beautifully kept, a lot of modern art sculptures have been added on the walkways and the scenery is amazing. Parking is easy and toilets are clean :-) I strongly recommend a visit!

Beautiful temples, not crowded (during February) and it was first Sunday of the month so it was free👌 it’s worth going if you are in q nearby area, but i wouldnt drive 3 hours to see it. The people at the reception were very friendly

One of the best-preserved Greek temples I’ve ever experienced. It’s a breathtaking experience that you can have in very few places. I cannot recommend this enough.

Selinunte Archaeological Park was my #1 favorite place visited in Sicily. I much preferred it over Valley of the Temples in Agrigento, not just because it was significantly less crowded, actually I didn't see very many people at all, partly due to the scale of the site and various areas being separated by some distances. The shuttles provided easy access throughout. Quite a remarkable place. I took nearly 500 photos in the few hours I spent here... a lot even for a photographer.

Fantastic! Amazing! This is an impressive Greek Temple that has had substantial restoration work done to it. Make sure to see all the other ruins at this site.

Niet area. We have taken the fulltime tour, but woensdag YouTube walk to the first Temple You have seen it all.

This was a beautiful place to see the old ruins and have a nice walk around the area.

Such a melancholic feel. Makes you realise how small man's efforts are in comparison to time and nature.

the beach sand and shorebreak remains shallow so that you can walk out beyond the pier in knee deep water from the seashore in front of the restaurants - hopefully the city will clean up the east side as well from sea debris brush that comes ashore throughout the winter months on many of sicily beaches

Okeish beach at best with a horrible renting service.

Loud music, cleaner than the surroundings (they dump the weeds just outside their markings).

(Translated by Google) Suggestive beach from which you can see Temple C of Selinunte. At the beginning of September it was practically empty so very relaxing. The fundamental problem is that the smokers have decided that this is their ashtray so you will find lots of cigarette filters in the sand (a common problem on the beaches in the area, I'm afraid). The sea was acceptable, there is better in Sicily. (Original) Spiaggia suggestiva da cui si vede il tempio C di Selinunte. A inizio settembre era praticamente vuota quindi molto rilassante. Il problema fondamentale è che i fumatori hanno deciso che questo è il loro posacenere quindi troverete tantissimi filtri di sigarette nella sabbia (problema comune alle spiagge della zona, temo). Il mare era accettabile, in Sicilia c'è di meglio.

(Translated by Google) To clarify: there are no longer any sun lounger and umbrella rentals, and there's a cell phone number online that no one answers. That said, it's a beautiful free beach, with a view of the Selinunte temples. The sea is clean and the sand is wide. Parking isn't easy, but it's a truly beautiful place. (Original) Per chiarire: non c'è più nessun affitto lettini e ombrelloni, sulla rete si trova un numero di cellulare a cui non risponde nessuno. Detto questo è una bella spiaggia libera, con vista templi Selinunte. Mare pulito e arenile ampio. Non semplice trovare parcheggio, ma è davvero un bel posto

(Translated by Google) Beach near the archaeological park, a beautiful sight for our eyes! The free beach is not well looked after (a little dirty with algae) the sea is always beautiful everywhere here in Sicily... although there are better places. Paid parking a stone's throw from the beach... all day €3. Instead, we give a good score to the fact that you can relax as it is not crowded and there is plenty of space (Original) Spiaggia vicino al parco archeologico,un bel vedere per i nostri occhi!la spiaggia libera non e ben curata(un po' sporca da alghe)il mare è sempre bello ovunque qua in Sicilia...anche se c'è sono posti migliori. Parcheggio a pagamento a due passi dalla spiaggia..tutto il giorno 3€. Un buon punteggio invece lo diamo al fatto che ci si rilassa in quanto non è affollata e c'è spazio a volonta

(Translated by Google) Enviable position, you swim under the acropolis of Selinunte. A beach there was with infinite space. On June 26th there were 20 people on 500 meters of coastline. Services: only one but well-stocked beach (Original) Posizione invidiabile, si fa il bagno sotto l'acropoli di Selinunte. Una spiaggia lì era con spazio infinito. Al 26 di giugno presenza di 20 persone in 500 mt di litorale. Servizi un solo lido ma ben fornito

(Translated by Google) It has very original and handmade gifts. (Original) Tiene regalos muy originales y hechos a mano.

(Translated by Google) Excellently crafted and original handcrafted souvenirs and objects. It's worth a stop (Original) Souvenir e oggettistica artigianali di ottima manifattura e originali. Vale la pena fare un salto

(Translated by Google) Remarkable friendliness. Very warm welcome in this store where we found very beautiful items. (Original) Amabilité remarquable. Très bon accueil dans se magasin où l'ont trouve de très beaux articles.

Amazing place, nice service nice food good prices. Very local

Great place to eat panino with tomatoes and mozzarella. They also have freshly squeezed orange juice (good vegetarian option)

Simple tasty food, we came here twice in a row. I had a salad with tuna and plenty of delicious olive oil. The pizza is just good hearty food too. Campari spritz are a must

Amazing - simple and delicious love love love

A rainy day with good wine and food

Delicious Italian food

Extremly friendly place with great food and gastronomic specialities

It's a great place. The staff is very friendly. The food is delicious, the fish very fresh. You can taste the best sardines in Sicilia. Fully recomended.

Service seemed a bit uncertain at first as it took a while before our order was taken. However once it was in, we got served promptly by a very nice and friendly staff. The food was very good; fish and seafood were fresh and tasty (it was cooked on the BBQ). Beer was not overpriced. The atmosphere was pleasant and some live music was performed. Overall, we really enjoyed our evening.

Nice bar that does grilled food. Prices were good and portions generous. Their English was not so good but they were friendly and accommodating!

Best Pulled Pork Burger,perfect break after Selinunt

Nice plce with good food and better service. I would recommend the pasta options.

Scammed us with the buffet. It was not a buffet, they charge you by plate.

(Translated by Google) Nice welcoming place run by very nice and friendly guys. With attention to many details, good quality food and equally good wines. Well made giant burgers. (Original) Bel locale accogliente e gestito da ragazzi molto simpatici e cordiali. Curato in molti particolari cibo di buona qualità e vini altrettanto. Hamburger giganti ben fatti.

Perfect spot for a light (or heavy!) lunch right on a pretty and not too crowded beach. Huge buffet (all you can eat) with salads and cooked dishes. Try the sardines - the house specialty. Octopus was grilled to perfection! Service was lovely, attentive and efficient. We will certainly be back!

It’s great location. You have three options. 1) buffet for 18€ all you can eat. 2) daily pasta. 3) order by menu. We had 2 pastas one beer and still water. We paid 40€ in total an got limoncello. Food is good, small fishes grilled looked delicious. We definitely recommend. They have fresh fish all the time.

Excellent place run by the kindest, most friendly people! The owner himself is very welcoming and generous, the staff are all wonderful - one gentleman in particular (Luca?) grows different varieties of chili peppers in the small garden outside, which are spicy and delicious, and he is very knowledgeable and happy to discuss hot chili peppers at length. The food itself was fresh and delicious (we took away some caprese salad and different grilled vegetables from their lovely buffet to eat on the beach, served with a very nice bag of brown bread). My only regret is not having time to come back again. I highly recommend this place to everyone!

An amazing restaurant on an amazing location on the beach, with amzing people. Excellent prices. We had fresh fish which we selected before, on the grill, local wine, etc. We avoided the buffet. We had an unforgettable time. Escence if Sicily.

My mother, husband and I were planning to eat lunch here but decided not to after being treated extremely rudely by a member of staff. We arrived and decided to sunbathe first and laid on some sun beds in front of the restaurant expecting to pay the attendant when he showed up. An insolent youth appeared ten minutes later and chastised us for lying down without paying first. The way he spoke to me and my elderly mother was disgusting and I couldn’t believe his attitude towards women. He told us we owed €25 for the two beds (my husband was laid next to us on the sand). I had 2 x €20 so I needed change and but he insisted that I follow him up to the counter to get it. I was in a bikini so asked him to bring the change to me instead which he refused to do with an extremely bad attitude. We asked for our money back and ended up going to another restaurant down the beach where we were treated with respect. We’ve travelled to Sicily many times and I’ve never been treated with such contempt. If you’re a foreign tourist, avoid Lido/Restaurant Zabbara. They don’t like women or tourists judging by the way we were treated.

Perfect and authentic, overlooking the beach with simple, fresh food. Choose your own fish (they have salsicce and Norma too), serve your own salad and enjoy the view! Lovely people and great value.

This restaurant is a true hidden gem! Just had lunch and it is packed. Buffet salad is delicious but pasta shrimp and pistachio is fantastic. Then grilled sardines on a stick- perfect!! Throw in the view of the sea and it’s an ideal lunch location!!
