The route typically begins near the Temple of Juno (sometimes called Hera) and follows the so-called “Sacred Way” through olive groves and the remains of city walls and necropoleis, offering both panoramic views and a deep sense of antiquity.
As you walk, you’ll reflect on millennia of history, from the Greek colonists who erected these monuments over 2,500 years ago to later Roman, Christian and modern visitors who have gazed at this divine valley.

Turkish Steps

The Scala dei Turchi is a brilliant white marl (a type of limestone/ argillaceous rock) cliff that rises above the sea in the municipality of Realmonte, in the province of Agrigento.
Its smooth terraces and staircase-like formations have been shaped by wind and waves over many years.
The name comes from the legend that “Turkish” pirates (actually Saracens) used to land here and climb the natural steps.
