Stair of the Turks

Highlight • Natural Monument

The Scala dei Turchi is a sheer cliff that overlooks the crystalline sea making it a very suggestive place. The name derives from the Saracen pirates who, in 1500, were mistakenly called Turks. The cliff made of many steps helped the many pirates to climb up to plunder the towns.

Turks' Steps

Highlight • Natural Monument

If the visitors continue to behave this way, the access to the wonderful white rock will soon be completely sealed off. A good example of narcissistic consumption of nature (beauty). Climbing idiots cause rockfall, which can be really dangerous for the pedestrians down the beach. Others consider themselves so significant that they incessantly persevere in the stone. Komootians know how to behave naturally.

Scala dei Turchi (Turks' Steps) Beach

Highlight • Beach

The rocks only just stick out of the sand.
With a little imagination you could imagine the look of the back of a group of white whales that you can walk along the beach.
