Italy 🇮🇹 ,Scala dei Turchi

Scala dei Turchi is a stepped rock on the coast of Realmonte near Porto Empedocle in the province of Agrigento. The cliff, prominent in the sea, became popular after being mentioned in Andrea Camilleri's novels about Commissioner Montalbano.
The name of the rock can be translated from Italian as "Turkish staircase". This picturesque place attracts many tourists who love the sea and Sicily.

The white rock consists of soft limestone. Nature, a great artist, created smoothed steps and terraces with the help of wind and water. Climbing these steps, it seems that you find yourself at the top of a giant meringue. Against the background of the whiteness of the steps, the sea seems even more azure-blue.

In summer, the sun bakes very much here, but the rocks do not overheat – you can walk barefoot on them. You just need to be careful not to slip, especially on wet stones. The bravest cross the entire cliff and swim on the sparsely populated western beach.
