It doesn't have the same fame as the amphitheatre of Taormina or some other parts of the island but it's a good sized theatre with a wonderful across the landscape. It's well-preserved dating from the 5th century BCE and in its heyday, held some 3,000 - 5,000 spectators.

Nice temple. Price to enter is 12e for adults. There is a bus ride for 2.5e (not included in price) to take you up to the Roman remains. (These are up a steep hill) - walking up is also possible

It was decent. Missable in my opinion if it's out of your way, but it's neat to be around the history if you're interested. The views are insane though if you do have time. There's a bus you can pay extra to take you up the 1 km hill to the theatre. I prefer to explore by foot whenever possible as you can make more stops for views. I suggest bringing a lot of water and a big ol' hat or sun umbrella!

Well-preserved remains of an ancient Greek theater with stunning valley views. Definitely worth a visit. You can walk from the parking lot like we did (it's a 1.25 km uphill walk that takes about 20 minutes). Alternatively, you can take the shuttle bus (we only discovered this halfway up the hill). Beautiful views of the valley, recommended for a late afternoon visit when there are fewer crowds and the setting sun casts a magical glow.

Beautiful ruins that show a glimpse of the past, but also how much has faded in time. The renderings that depict how large the settlement was leave you wondering how time could have faded away so much of it, but glad to still see some remnants of the past like the magnificent temple, or the open air theatre with a fantastic view of the surrounding countryside.
