Doric Temple of Segesta

The great temple and mountain valley will take your travel to ancient times and it stops. Magnificent views of the beautiful valley and admirable temple, are simply stunning and picturesque… We visited in mid-October, so there is no waiting for tickets and was on tees n shorts! The trek to Temple and Theater are on different directions. Give yourself atleast couple of hours 😊

Incredible ruins on a hillside. You've seen the pictures but in real life they are even better. As for which entrance to begin at? I went to the eastern entrance and walked tonthe west and back and honestly didn't notice much of a difference in terms of uphill or diwnhill and I am not a spring chicken. However, the most spectacular pasts are at the estern end.

The place is beautiful and evocative. However, this beauty is marred by poor management. I am Italian and I know these things. We find rubbish that corrupts the cultural level of the place. I would also like to point out that for years the cost of admission has been rising by €2 every year. Although a tourist can afford this expense, a Sicilian cannot spend this money. If local people cannot enjoy the beauty of their land, they will not be able to respect it either. And they will continue to treat Sicily like a huge trash can. Let's respect Sicily and make culture accessible to everyone, not just those with a lot of money. Please write other reviews like mine so that the managers understand how they should behave.

Okayyy, so the temple - absolutely majestic, fully in tact, 5 minute walk from the entrance. But the theatre is a 30 minute walk uphill, you can pay a couple extra euros to get there on bus, but yk stairmaster, pump that butt.

Really nice place, free parking. I was there today, Wednesday, August 7, 2025. There was a 10-minute wait for tickets. Children under 17 are free, but it's recommended to spend €2.50 per person for the bus to the theater, a 1.5 km route. There's a bar, vending machines, and nice, clean bathrooms. Otherwise, it's worth the view alone.

An incredible monument of Greek culture, but even more fascinating is how later cultures layered their own influences over it. It’s worth climbing the second peak to see the remains of the settlement next to the theater. The views are beautiful too. In spring, everything is in bloom.

Free on a Sunday, aside from the bus cost up to the amphitheatre if you want it. The main temple is excellent. Beautiful drive in, no problems at all. Recommended.

Amazing place. It was quiet but I was early in the season. If you are fit enough I would recommend walking to the temple and not getting the shuttle bus as there are something’s to see on the way up. Including an amazing panoramic loop. Not well kept but worth the 15 detour to see the surrounding area
