 Excursion to the ALCANTARA GOURGE (12 August 2005) - spectacular basalt gorge
The river "Fiume Alcantara" has cut a wildly romantic canyon through the volcanic rock which is 450m in length, 5-8m wide and up to 25m in depth. From the car park walk down the steps (for free) or take the lift to the bottom, where you can wade between the narrow walls.fantastic Romana mosaic

Pictures and feedback from Delia (ITALY)
Roberto ti ringrazio per avermi dato l'opportunità di visitare Grotta Intraleo, una delle tante e bellissime grotte di cui è disseminato il nostro meraviglioso vulcano Etna. Ne sono rimasta entusiasta! E credo che sia un'esperienza irripetibile il poter entrare in contatto con un simile luogo..il poter respirare e vivere (anche se solo per un giorno) la natura e la bellezza di questi luoghi ricchi di miti e leggende! Non visitarlo e non approfittare di chi vi offre un tale servizio significa perdere un'opportunità che vi arricchirà sicuramente.
 

AEOLIAN ISLANDS - Volcanic Islands
Volcanic activity lent to each of these seven islands its own land and seascape. Evidence of 6.000 years of history, a live volcano, black lava beaches, the magnificently limpid sea, and food and wines intensely flavoured by the sun are well worth the trip out.
