Additional Information

This exclusive journey will introduce you to the awe-inspiring natural wonders of Alcantara River Park, a stunning region that straddles the cities of Messina and Catania. Here, the landscape is carved into extraordinary scenes of incredible beauty and intriguing natural phenomena. Nestled amid mountains, Motta Camastra, a serene village, reigns supreme over the captivating Alcantara Valley from its lofty 423-meter vantage point. One of the most distinctive features of this village is the imposing Flysch rocks that pervade the Alcantara valley and can be found in Motta Camastra merely by strolling through its charming streets or hiking up to Rocca Mancusa. As we embark on a leisurely hike, we’ll uncover the breath-taking natural vista of Alcantara’s “gurne” marked by the striking contrast of the gray lava stone against the river’s crystal clear waters. In the richer months, a dip in the fresh Alcantara is a treat you wouldn’t want to miss. During lunch break, indulge in the authentic flavors of time-honored Sicilian cuisine.

Wonderful!!!! Highly Recommend. - We were a group of four that were lucky to have Sara as our guide for this tour. As a native of Messina she was actually involved in developing the tour which is a new one for Discover Messina. We thought it was fantastic. Not only did we see the city and the Straits areas, we also got to go to the mountains for some fantastic views of the city, straits and surrounding area. We thought it was a wonderful value and Sara is such a good guide and nice person. We had a great day and ended it with some fantastic sandwiches at Don Minico's under the shade. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS TOUR and DISCOVER MESSINA.
