Spiaggia di Scala dei Turchi

You'll want to drop anchor off Scala dei Turchi, one of Sicily's most jaw-dropping natural landmarks — a sweeping white marl cliff carved by centuries of wind and rain into smooth, wave-like natural steps that glow almost blinding white in the Sicilian sun. The contrast of the chalk-white rock against the deep blue sea is genuinely unlike anything else on this coastline. It's a short swim or dinghy ride to reach the cliffs, where you can climb the sculpted terraces and soak up panoramic views back across the water.
