Scala dei Turchi

The Scala dei Turchi is a spectacular rocky cliff on the coast of Realmonte, near Porto Empedocle, in southern Sicily. The cliff is formed by marl, a sedimentary rock with a characteristic white color, and has been sculpted by the sea and wind into white shelves, creating a natural staircase. The name 'Scala dei Turchi' refers to the historical pirate raids of the 16th century. The area is a popular tourist attraction and features beautiful sandy beaches. Visitors can access the beach via a staircase carved into the cliff. The cliff's unique formation and stunning views make it a must-see destination for families and nature lovers
