モッタカマストラの天然記念物・トップ15

美しい湾にある小さな島。ビーチからアクセス可能 - 2026年1月までは小さな砂州を通ってアクセスできましたが、それ以降は歩行可能なポンツーン（砂州は嵐で破壊されました）を通ってアクセスできます。 興味深い歴史があり、長らく個人所有でしたが、現在は再び公有となり、自然保護区に指定されています。

It's completely unclear which point on the river is being referred to here, and what condition the river is in. Consequently, the (repetitive) tips are of little use. In winter, after rain, while descending the path on the western side, which was in a disastrous state (!), I encountered a raging torrent below, making it nearly impossible to reach the entrance of the gorge!

beautiful but overcrowded beach

From here you have a privileged view of Isola Bella, a rocky islet at the foot of Taormina connected to the mainland by a thin strip of sand. A ticket is required to visit.

Beautiful, but depending on the time of day, it can get very crowded. It's best to come in the morning. The cool water of the Alcantara is a relief on hot days 😃

The rocky pyramid of Rocca di Novara ("Matterhorn of Sicily") seems inaccessible...as a landmark, it can even be seen from Mount Etna! This rocky promontory has a well-maintained trail (adequately marked with red dots), making it never too difficult to climb. (Caution: Surefootedness, a head for heights, and good weather are essential!!) From the summit plateau (large metal cross with the silhouette of Christ), there is a magnificent view of the coast, the mountain villages in the hinterland of Milazzo, and the Peloritani Mountains. The starting point is a picnic area on the SS185 (which will likely be impassable from the south for some time to come due to a landslide). There are a few parking spaces along the roadside; for off-road vehicles, you can also drive up to the first bend of the picnic area. A fantastic mountain experience - and afterwards, head to the café in Novara d. Sicily -> Bar S. Niecola!

A super-beautiful little island, as the name suggests. No sandy beach, just rocks and pebbles. But the water is incredibly clear, perfect for swimming. It's best to pack your swimming shoes. You can take short boat trips for around €10 out to sea and to the blue grottos. Always a dream 😍🥰

Such a beautiful piece of earth!
