Selinunte is one of Sicily's great Greek archaeological sites, situated by the sea in the south west Sicily. The isolated ruins here have stood abandoned for most of their history and allow visitors to imagine the ancient town of Selinus as it would have been 2,500 years ago. The archaeological park at Selinunte incorporates Greek temples, ancient town walls, ruins of residential and commercial buildings, countryside paths and zones not yet excavated.

If you are interested in Greek Sicily, this is a very important site to visit, and the temples' setting close to the sea is very picturesque. Those with interest may also wish to visit the Cusa Quarries (13km north west) which were indispensable in the construction of the city of Selinunte and its temples in 409BC.  

Selinunte is situated in Marinella di Selinunte which is a quaint sea-side village with a few cafe bars and restaurants/ pizzerias. It is also possible to visit Segesta Greek temple and archaeological site (62km) and the Valley of the Temples (95km). The town of Marsala, famed for its wine, is 54km to the west.
