ITINERARIES

Scala dei Turchi

Where natural beauty meets local legend
With its white marble cliffs that form a natural staircase, the spectacular Scala dei Turchi is an essential landmark to see when travelling by boat. It is said that Saracen pirates once docked their ships in these calm, clean waters and climbed the natural "steps" to reach the top of the cliff and raid the local villages.

During your boat trip you’ll also have the opportunity to admire the amazing Torre Salsa, a WWF nature reserve that extends along the coastline, where the chalk cliffs alternate with long sandy beaches. The reserve takes its name from a tower that stands on the top of one of the chalk cliffs and was originally built as a defence.

Selinunte - Home of Majestic Temples

Selinunte is one of the most impressive archaeological sites in the Mediterranean. After narrowly escaping destruction during an attack by the Carthaginians in 409 B.C., the town was abandoned and swallowed up by earth and sand, which had the unexpected consequence of preserving the ancient metropolis for many centuries.

You’ll travel along the coast by boat and enjoy spectacular views of the ruins of the Temple of Hera, erected by the Dorians in 500 B.C. You’ll also pass by Porto Palo di Menfi beach, awarded Blue Flag status thanks to its soft sand and clear waters.
