Sicily - Alcantara Gorge

Sicily sightseeing, attractions and online travel guide

Formed by the volcanic activity of the famous Mount Etna, the stunning basalt formation known as the Alcantara Gorge lies on the Alcantara River about twenty minutes drive south west of Taormina. Etna's geological influence on the surrounding countryside has created a beautifully scenic site encircled by small luscious green woods. During the summer, visitors are permitted to bathe in the cool, refreshing water that flows through the amazing rock formations taking in this remarkable spot of natural beauty.
