Stair of the Turks
Stair of the Turks is a stretch of white cliff on the southwest coast of Sicily. The entire cliff is composed of soft white marl, and the rock layers have been polished by wind and waves over the years, rising from the sea in layers like natural steps, which is how it got the name "Stair." The "Turks" part comes from North African pirates, whom the locals collectively called "Turks" in the Middle Ages. They often used this sheltered white cliff as a place to dock and hide. This layer of white rock was formed by the calcareous remains of countless tiny plankton deposited on the seabed during an ancient era when the Mediterranean Sea nearly dried up and was subsequently refilled, and marine fossils can still be found in the rock layers today. The white cliffs are flanked by golden beaches, with blue-green seawater surging against the pure white base of the cliffs. At sunset, the white rock surface reflects faint pink and orange hues, making it a classic time for sightseeing and photography. It became more widely known after the movie "Malèna" was filmed here, and it was also written about by Italian author Andrea Camilleri in his "Inspector Montalbano" series. The white cliff rock is soft and easily weathered, and there is an observation deck at the top of the cliff, which is an open spot for overlooking the entire coastline.Realmonte · 2.3km from downtown
Valley of the Temples
ValledeiTempli, the Valley of the Temples, is not a valley, but a hill to the south of Acrigento. The terrain is dangerous. On one side, you can overlook the city of Agrigento, and on the other side sit on the green space of the valley, with a wide vision. There are red ancient Greek temple ruins lined up on the top of the hill. The temple is tall and very imposing. Although it has been damaged by natural disasters, wars and early Christians, it is well preserved. In 1997, it was included in the World Heritage List according to the selection criteria C(I)(II)(III)(IV).Agrigento · 11.8km from Realmonte
Agrigento Cathedral
Agrigento Cathedral(Duomo) is located above the city of Agrigento. You can reach it by going up along the beautiful, narrow and intricate old town. The cathedral combines different architectural styles such as Catalan Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque into one, and the building is very beautiful. Unfortunately, the church was destroyed by earthquakes and landslides, so the church is closed and can only be viewed from the outside, but you can still see some weathered reliefs on the church's exterior walls.Agrigento · 10.1km from Realmonte

Temple of Concordia, Agrigento
The Temple of Concord was built in 440 BC and is a large Doric-style building in Sicily. It is a relatively well-preserved temple in the Valley of the Temples. The 6 columns on the front of the temple and the 34 columns on the side are intact. Its integrity is second only to the well-known Parthenon in Athens. Because of its integrity, it can be very complete here. Good understanding of Greek temple architecture culture. The reason why the Temple of Harmony did not suffer the same disaster as other temples was because it was converted into a Catholic church in the sixth century AD, so that this pagan temple survived. It was not restored to its original appearance until 1788. Symbol of Agrigento.Agrigento · 11.7km from Realmonte
Temple of Olympian Zeus
The Temple of Zeus has long been destroyed, and like many Greek temples in Europe, it is in ruins. The Temple of Zeus is the larger ruin in the Valley of the Temples. If you are not special in history or archaeology, it is not recommended to come here, because without sufficient knowledge, this may just be a boring attraction. Most people are not interested in ruins and abandoned stones. The columns of the temple are huge sculptures, one of which has been restored and is displayed in the Archaeological Museum. The sculpture was built in 480 BC and was probably destroyed during the Carthaginian invasion in 406 BC. What remains here is imitations.Agrigento · 11km from Realmonte

The Temple of Zeus was built in the Ionic style, but later changed to the Corinthian style, and all marble was used. Transportation Take the Red Line Metro Station Acropolis Station and walk 7-8 minutes to the temple. It usually takes 1-2 hours to visit.
