Spiaggia di Scala dei Turchi

The beach stretches along white limestone cliffs that form natural terraces, creating a dramatic contrast against the blue Mediterranean waters.

During the Middle Ages, Ottoman ships frequently used this coastal area as a shelter, leading to its name Scala dei Turchi meaning Stairs of the Turks.

The beach represents a significant geological formation in Sicily, featuring marlstone cliffs that have become a symbol of the region's natural heritage.

Access to the beach requires walking down limestone steps, and visitors should arrive early during summer months to secure parking and beach space.

The white marlstone cliffs contain a mixture of limestone and clay that gives them their characteristic smooth, stepped formation and brilliant white color.
