Visit the incredible Scala dei Turchi in Sicily

Overview

Discover Scala dei Turchi: Private Tours, Experiences & Custom Travel

Scala dei Turchi 'Stairs of the Turks'  is a national park in Sicily located close to Agrigento.  It's an impressive land formation of unique white limestone that cascades into the sea.  

Here, Nature, as a great artist, has worked this material over time, making it soft and sinuous, with the help of the sea and the salty breeze, creating terraces and smoothing every corner. When you ascend the staircase, you will have the feeling of being in Wonderland, on a huge white meringue. The sea, taking advantage of this sparkling white, will be showing off his blue.  A very intense blue, and while sitting on the steps admiring the sea, you will be surrounded by the most pleasant thoughts. Local boys have often diving competition, jumping from the most prominent steps; we would not recommend imitating them but looking at them is a real show
