We will be in Sicily in late March 2026. We are spending a couple of days in Salemi in the hills south of Palermo. We do not plan to rent a car. We know that we can get to Salemi from Palermo by bus or train into the nearby community of Nuova Gibellina and then taxi the 3 or so miles to Salemi. After our time in Salemi, we want to head to Agrigento and the Valley of the Temples.
Our question is if anyone is aware of a public transportation connection from Salemi to Agrigento that does not involve the rather round about journey of returning to Palermo and then taking a train from Palermo to Agrigento. We have consulted the bus schedules, but they are not well developed and perhaps we missed something. Any thoughts would be welcomed.
