That's Amore B&B is situated only 5km distance from the motorway exit of Giardini Naxos (if you are travelling from Catania e/o Messina), 9 Km from Taormina, 7 Km from the Alcantara Gorges, 28 Km from the northern side of Etna and 50 Km from Catania airport.
The river Alcantara marks the boundary between the Provinces of Messina and Catania. The Greeks called the river Akesines, the Arabs Al-cuantara (the bridge).
Along 48 Km (30 miles) of its length it brushes up against the territory of Randazzo and flows on towards the coast, separating the volcano Mt.Etna from the mountains to the north.
The spectacular gorges were created by the erosion and cooling of the lava flowing from the crater of Mount Dolce, between Linguaglossa and Randazzo, on the Etna massif.
The gorges show the inner part of the flow with the splendid, columnar fissures of magma rapidly cooled by the gushing water.
More than 20m (57 ft) deep the gorges have bizzarre basalt prisms dotted here and there with cool spontaneous vegetation.
