Valley of the Temples - day trip from Catania
Boosting this thread rather than creating a new one.
I think I know the answer to my question, but was hoping to get everyone's advice. My wife, infant daughter (19 months) and I will have four nights in Catania; this is our only time in Sicily during the trip. (We wish it could be longer!) Is a day trip to Agrigento and Valley of the Temples worth it considering the 2 hour drive to and from Catania? We're concerned about 4+ hours round trip in the car with our daughter. Are there other sites / great restaurants we should stop at along the way? And considering it is only ~160km, is the speed limit relatively low and/or strictly enforced? Seems like it should be closer to 1.5 hr drive.
If we don't go to Agrigento, pretty sure I can convince my wife to do a day trip to Siracusa and a winery in Noto.
Thanks for any advice!
