Excursion
Unknown Sicily

Starting from your hotel, we will go along the road that joins Naxos to the Alcantara Valley. Our first stop will be at the Alcantara Gorges, a wonderful natural canyon, where you can admire majesty of the river that flows through the lava stone. Going ahead in the valley, we will visit the little village Motta Camastra, layed on a rock at 453 m of altitude.

Going to Castiglione di Sicilia we will pass through the village Francavilla di Sicilia. The name Castiglione comes from "Castel Leone ", a castle which dominates the town from up above. From here there is a fantastic view of mount Etna. The most important monuments are the chirches S.Antonio, S.Pietro and a square enclosed by ancient walls from XVII century.

Along the way to Mojo Alcantara we will see the ruins of a bizantine chirch from VII-VIII century. On the way back, we raccomand a typical sicilian lunch in a famous local restaurant.
