Agrigento’s Valley of the Temples, evidencing the footprint of Hellenistic culture in Sicily, sits on a sun-kissed hill by the sea, embraced by sweet-smelling almond and olive groves. This site, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1997, signifies a blossoming and illustrious period in a wealthy and contested Sicilian setting.
Situated a few moments away from the Valley of the Temples, nestled between Porto Empedocle and Realmonte, you’ll discover the renowned Scala dei Turchi, a stunning white limestone formation dropping into the crystalline sea waters. The spot’s moniker is credited to the ancient Arab and Saracen marauders who found the natural gulf perfect for docking. Approach from the beach progresses to a lovely stroll until reaching La Scala, hailed as one of Sicily’s most gorgeous natural sites.
