From Sciacca: Agrigento Province Highlights Tour

From Sciacca: Agrigento Province Highlights Tour

The excursion to Eraclea Minoa and the Scala dei Turchi is a short and interesting tour around the western coast of the province of Agrigento, to discover a historical and natural atmosphere made up of preserved beaches and archaeological remains. Our day begins by bus at 8:30 or 14:30 with departure from your hotel in Sciacca or from the Gulliver agency. Archaeological park The first stop is the archaeological park set in the promontory of "Capo Bianco" at the foot of the mouth of the Platani river. This double name of his can be traced back to the myth of an ancient Sicily, of the demigod Heracles and of King Minos. There are large defensive lines, with towers and gateways to the city, remains of inhabited neighborhoods and a theatre: the latter is protected by a cover to prevent erosion by atmospheric agents and is still used today as a venue for performances that have the cliffs of Capo Bianco and the splendid underlying beaches as a backdrop. The material discovered during the erosion is kept in the Antiquarium at the entrance to the site. The beach of Eraclea Minoa It stretches for about 6 kilometers in an amazing environment: the fine white sand is bathed by a sea of extreme beauty, clean, fresh and luxuriant with marine fauna. Behind it, a thick pine forest accompanies the coast for its entire surface. Scale of the Turks The second stop is the Scala dei Turchi, a magnificent dazzling white jewel that stands out among the clear blue of the sea. Describing the view is not transmissible in full: you have to live immersing yourself with all five senses in the magic of this incredible white marble cliff. It is a fascinating place where centuries of rain and wind have carved out a large natural staircase whose white color is made more dazzling by the sunlight. The Scala dei Turchi is not only nature, but it is a place recalled by local legend: it is said that the Saracen corsairs, for the Sicilians "the Turks", after having moored the ships in the calm, clear waters protected by the cliffs, climbed up these natural "stairs" reaching the top and thus invading the surrounding villages, including Realmonte.

Our morning started with a drive to Ribera, where we met our guides (also the business owners) for our 3-hour quad/ATV tour. We travelled to the 12th century castle of Poggio di Diana. Then, onto our ride over mountain tops, along cliffs, through valleys filled with olive and orange trees and along the seaside. Best of all, was having wild horses run beside us and then stop to have us feed them some Sicilian buns! The guides were passionate about what they do and took lots of pictures and videos that they then sent everyone on the tour. We both highly recommend this excursion. We would have given it 10 stars if we could have!

We went horseback riding on the beach, and it was absolutely beautiful. My boyfriend couldn't ride, but that was no problem at all. However, I would recommend the tour more for people with a bit of experience. The guide didn't speak English, but that also wasn't an issue. T The guide was incredibly kind and took photos of us throughout the ride. We completed the entire route and saw the sunset on the beach, riding through vineyards - It was stunning. The horses were very well-behaved—everything was just perfect. Thank you!!

I have to say this was the best tour we have booked. Simone is well known in the village, and brought us throughout the streets with a knowledge only a local can provide. he gave us a bunch of options to make our day a one of a kind experience. we stopped at a bakery and meet the wonderful owners and learned their story. but the best was the lunch a local family opend up their home to us and we had an amazing local feast. if you are debating what tour you should take, this, without a doubt should be onto of your list.

Our tour of the village Sant’ Angelo Muxaro was anazing! Our tour guide Simone was so knowledgeable and led us to the most unique places. He was so friendly and we really enjoyed our time with him! We had lunch with a local couple in their home and it was absolutely delicious and they were so inviting. This tour has been a highlight of our trip so far. We would highly recommend this!

Beautiful horseback ride! The horses are well cared for and very good. In addition, Nino is an excellent guide. Definitely recommended to those who already have experience.
