Turkish Steps (Scala dei Turchi)

Discover the Scala dei Turchi, or Turkish Steps, a dazzling white cliff sculpted by nature into a dramatic staircase along Sicily's coast. This geological wonder, formed by marl, a soft limestone, offers a breathtaking spectacle as it plunges into the turquoise waters of the Mediterranean Sea. Legend has it that Saracen pirates (erroneously referred to as Turks) found refuge here, hence the name. Ascend the smooth, undulating steps and bask in the Sicilian sun while admiring the stunning coastal vistas. The contrast between the bright white rock, the azure sea, and the clear blue sky creates a picture-perfect scene, making it an unforgettable highlight of your Sicilian adventure. Be sure to bring your camera to capture the unique beauty of this natural landmark.
