Alcantara Gorge

Alcantara Gorge

See one of Sicily’s most stunning natural beauty spots on the east coast, around 20km from Taormina and 50km from Mount Etna. The unusual rock formations of the Alcantara Gorge have been formed by lava and water flowing from the volcano and the Alcantara River, one of the island’s only rivers that flows all year round. Why not cool off in the cooling pools?
