While the ruins, what there were of them, were impressive, the experience was diminished by lack of help at the site, lack of audio guides, as well as very poor signage telling you where to go. Informational signs were so technical that they offered little historical value. There were a few drivers there, but only to help those who chose... More

You can simply wander along the paths lined with wildflowers and admire the amazing achievement of creating and erecting these massive stone columns. The guide books suggest you can lie on the beach and look up at the ruins. You can - but you have to go out... More

Must go, better if it's sunset (especially during the Summer) and if before you go to the beach right down the temple hill on the west side of Marinella di Selinunte. Magic. More
