A fairly short excursion from Taormina is a drive to the Alcantara Gorges. The day I chose to go, a thunderstorm hit and we had to leave after just one hour (to make sure we could catch the only bus out of there!) Definitely worth a visit but you'll need a few hours (+ sunshine) to really enjoy the gorges. Booked with a bus company, entry to the gorge was included in the price (€30) #gorge #sicily #nature #views
