Access to one of the biggest tourist attractions monitored by police: Amazing what tourists did there

The article discusses the reopening of the iconic natural attraction 'Scala dei Turchi' (Turkish Steps) on the southern coast of Sicily after it was closed in 2020 due to excessive tourism, vandalism, and environmental degradation. The site, known for its unique white terraces formed by limestone and clay over centuries, has been reopened under strict conditions, including police checks at the entrance and a time limit of 20 minutes for visitors. Authorities have implemented stricter rules to protect the area, which is considered a natural wonder shaped by the sea. The name 'Scala dei Turchi' originates from historical references to Saracen pirates who were called 'Turks' by locals.
