SCALE OF TURKS (REALMONTE-AGRIGENTO):

Scala dei Turchi is a rocky wall that rises above the sea along the coast between Realmonte and Porto Empedocle, in the province of Agrigento. Over time it has become a tourist attraction both for the singularity of the cliff, of white color and the peculiar shapes, following the popularity acquired by novels starring the commissioner Montalbano in which these places are cited the commissioner's country, to be framed with Porto Empedocle .

The Scala dei Turchi has a wavy and irregular shape, with not sour lines but rather sweet and roundish. The name comes from past piracy raids by the Saracens, Arab people and, by convention, Turkish; the Turkish pirates, in fact, found shelter in this area less beaten by the winds and representing a safer landing place, consists of marl, a sedimentary rock of calcareous and clayey nature, with a characteristic pure white color. This cliff of singular appearance stands between two beaches of fine sand, to access it you have to proceed along the coast and climb up a slope resembling a large natural limestone staircase.

The Scala dei Turchi is a spectacular stretch of coast that thanks to its peculiarities, has become an icon of Sicilian seaside tourism.

We advise you to visit it, because it does not suffice to describe this enchanting place between sky and blue sea.
