Scala dei Turchi

Highlight • Natural Monument

From Siculiana to Realmonte the panoramic road offers a wonderful landscape. The stop to admire the Scala dei Turchi is worth the trip.

Inevitable stop on a trip to southern Sicily.
The Scala Dei Turchi is located in Realmonte, shortly after Porto Empedocle.
Different access points to La Scala, directly via a staircase that leads down to the nearest beach or arriving on foot from the neighboring beaches.

San Leone

Highlight • Beach

Its beach is considered among the most beautiful in southern Sicily. The sand is fine and golden with clear, crystalline water; it is also a destination for many surfers every year. The Agrigento area is windy but the beach is sheltered by cliffs.

Stair of the Turks

Highlight • Natural Monument

The Scala dei Turchi is a sheer cliff that overlooks the crystalline sea making it a very suggestive place. The name derives from the Saracen pirates who, in 1500, were mistakenly called Turks. The cliff made of many steps helped the many pirates to climb up to plunder the towns.
