Many torrents spring from Nebrodi Mountains in
the north of Etna but the big volcano conveys all them in two
rivers, Simeto and Alcantara, flowing into the Tirreno and Ionio
seas.
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.
During the summer, when actually the river is more similar to a
torrent, 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.
