Great vantage point of the Scala dei Turchi from the west. Entry from there is prohibited, so no descent is possible.

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.

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.

Turks' Steps

Highlight • Natural Monument

If the visitors continue to behave this way, the access to the wonderful white rock will soon be completely sealed off. A good example of narcissistic consumption of nature (beauty). Climbing idiots cause rockfall, which can be really dangerous for the pedestrians down the beach. Others consider themselves so significant that they incessantly persevere in the stone. Komootians know how to behave naturally.

This, however, is the beautiful Capo Bianco in Sicily. The Scala del Turchi can be admired a few kilometers further east.

May 29, 2023,Tour zur Scala dei Turchi

Scala dei Turchi is the tourist and instagram hotspot of the marl/limestone cliffs/cliffs west of Agrigento. Highly recommended alternatives: hikes on the Cabo Bianco and and to the Dama Bianca in the Torre Salsa nature reserve (see previous tours).
