WEST COAST

Duration: 9:00 am to 5:00 pm from/to your accommodation (only within Agrigento District ZIP code: 92100)
We will drive you to the magnificent Scala dei Turchi (The Turkish steps), a white rocky cliff with an astonishing landscape sculpted by the geological eras and atmospheric agents to resemble a staircase. The contrast between the white of the rock and the blue of the sea makes the Turkish steps a little piece of heaven on earth. 
Duration of the visit 1,5 hours.
The tour proceeds along the coast towards Ribera where we will turn and start to escalate the Monti Sicani (Sicanian Mountains) through the mount Kratas up to the oldest Village of this district and one of the ancient in Sicily: Caltabellotta, located at 949 mt above sea level. Here we will explore the medieval village visiting the amazing cathedral built by Normans, the castle of Arabs and we will be going up to the famous Eremo of San Pellegrino where you will remain amazed by the panorama and enjoys one of the most beautiful views which are dominating the western part of Sicily. This view is very particular and is giving a spectacular contrast between the Mediterranean heading to the coastal area of Africa and the Sicanian mountains.
Duration of the visit 1 hour.
We will stop at a local restaurant, where a traditional Sicilian lunch will be prepared for you with local and fresh farmer’s food. You will also have the pleasure of tasting the famous Sicilian Extravirgin Olive Oil which is locally produced and known as one of the best in Sicily.
Duration of the visit 1,5 hours.
The tour proceeds towards the very ancient village of Burgio where we will stop by the imposing castle at the top of the town and will visit the Ceramics Museum located in the high part of the village. Around the castle the atmosphere is typically medieval. Burgio is also very famous for its pretty pottery and for being the only place in Sicily with a still functioning bell foundry, which is supplying bells all over the world. We will take you in a hidden treasure of this ancient village; the scary and curious museum of mummies where, inside the Capuchin convent, the mummies are recovered along with original clothes and jewelleries… a disturbing walk through skeletons and grave goods dating from the eighteenth and the nineteenth century, mummified according to ancient techniques of the Franciscan friars. We will also stop by the centre of Burgio, where the local craftsmen will tell us about the ancient art for the creation of these precious artifacts, techniques still employed today. 
Duration 1,5 hours.
