   Agrigento is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful cities in the world, the most visited ever, a symbol of antiquity with its suggestive Valley of the Temples. But Agrigento is not only culture and history. It is beautiful not only for its exceptional archaeological heritage, but also for the natural environment that characterizes it. The beautiful beach of San Leone is made up of soft golden sand, characterized by kilometers of sandy shores bathed by a splendid sea, with an intense blue color and clear waters. Its promenade (Falcone and Borsellino) is embellished with tall palm trees that line it. In its vicinity there are all kinds of services, shops and restaurants offering typical Sicilian specialities. After exploring the archaeological sites of the Valle dei Templi Park, treat yourself to lunch in a small restaurant facing the Falcone Borsellino promenade in San Leone. Here the dishes are based on land and sea ingredients together, a unique mix with a Mediterranean flavour.

   A splendid dazzling white jewel that frames the clear blue of the sea is the Scala dei Turchi. One of the favorite destinations of southern summers, thanks to its conformation with soft, rounded and irregular lines and to the color of its "cold" white cliff. It is composed of clayey and calcareous sedimentary rock, which gives the cliff its characteristic white color and low temperature to the touch. The cliff can be reached via a path of huge steps, on top of which tourists usually "camp" to sunbathe or admire the wonderful panorama overlooking the equally fascinating coast of Agrigento.
