TAORMINA AND THE ALCANTARA GORGES (about 7 hours from the ports of Catania, Giardini Naxos and Messina)
First stop of this trip will be the Alcantara river that, originated on the Nebrodi mountains runs for about 50 km untill the Ionian sea. Located about 20 km from Taormina, the gorges are real canyons made of black lava walls up to 50 meters high, in the typical shape of a prism that the rocks have taken during the cooling process. Continue to Taormina, the pearl of the " Ionian sea" where after a guided tour of the most interesting monuments you will have free time to enjoy a walk on your own in this enchanting, middle age town.
