Along the coast of Realmonte near Porto Empedocle, in the province of Agrigento, there is one of the most curious and evocative tourist attractions of Sicily: the Scala dei Turchi.
Being able to admire it from the sea is fantastic. A rocky rock overlooking the sea, in the shape of a superb natural staircase of white color, indeed very white. The place offers a unique and unmistakable panorama that embraces the coast of Agrigento up to Capo Rossello, both during the day and at sunset. Beautiful photos at sunset, indeed magical.

How to make a yacht holiday eco-friendly
For years we have been organizing trips in the name of sustainability, that is, keeping in mind two basic principles of the concept of eco-sustainability: lower environmental impact and enhancement of the territory.
For this reason we are also able to offer you catamarans and yachts equipped with solar panels. Renting a yacht with solar panels allows you to be autonomous as much as possible and therefore stay in navigation longer, away from the noisy, expensive and crowded mass marinas.
Mass tourism obviously should not be praised but certainly often diminishes the territory, impoverishing small realities in favor of large tourist chains.
A note of which we are proud is the possibility of entrusting ourselves with the preparation of the Galley.
In fact, it is possible to organize the galley with organic products, local raw materials and km0.
In agreement we will propose the best way to reduce waste, minimize plastic products and ban disposable ones. Also at the stage of preparing the suitcase you need to pay attention to some aspects. Did you know that some sunscreens are really harmful to the marine environment? When buying, think conscientiously about what is useful and what is not. Always read the labels. It is always appropriate to ask ourselves many questions about our purchasing habits.
Keeping this in mind is the first step towards a holiday that is as sustainable as possible.
