A brilliant white marl cliff on the southwestern coast of Sicily, Scala dei Turchi rises from the sea in stepped natural terraces that erode to chalky smoothness each season. The formation sits between two sandy beaches near Realmonte, and the stark white rock contrasts dramatically with the intensely blue Mediterranean water. Sunset turns the cliff faces amber and rose, making late afternoon the preferred time for photography.
