What makes Private sailing boat excursions to the Scala dei Turchi a unique experience ?
The journey starts from the small port of San Leone, just 3 km from the Valley of the Temples. After leaving the port, we will sail along the “Costa del Mito”, admiring from the sea the Valley of the Temples, the Kaos bay where the birthplace of Luigi Pirandello is located, the Marinella beach with the ruins of the Roman Villa and then arriving near of the Scala dei Turchi. After mooring, you can choose to explore the Scala dei Turchi by SUP (Stand Up Paddle) or by swimming.
Around midday, we will set up a small dining area on the deck of the boat, where you can enjoy a light lunch offered: this is characterized by a variety of flavors including local specialities, fresh salads with tomatoes, basil and olive oil add a touch of freshness . Finally, fresh fruit and almond pastries. In the afternoon you will have time to relax in the sun or take a dip.
For the return journey we will open the sails again, sailing pushed by the wind to the small port of S. Leone.
Around midday we will stop for lunch in the bay of Capo Rossello, a sheltered inlet where mooring is safe and swimming or bathing is a real pleasure.
During the crossing which will last approximately 1 hour and a half on the outward journey and the same on the return, before arriving at the Scala dei Turchi, we will pass in front of the town of Porto Empedocle, better known as Vigata in Andrea Camilleri’s novels.
During navigation we will pass not far from the archaeological remains of the maritime Villa of Realmonte. It is an ancient Roman Villa built between the 1st and 2nd centuries AD. From the sea it is possible to see the few columns still standing, but above all it is very interesting to note the landscape context that surrounds it.
