Considered to be the “Pearl of the Ionian”, due to its wild but unspoilt beauty, in spite of man’s presence, Isola Bella ("beautiful island") is protected by the WWF and was recently declared a Nature Reserve. It is a magical place that cannot be missed if you are near Taormina. Alcantara River Park, an extremely attractive place about 25 km Taormina, is famous for its gorges, fashioned into the rock by geological phenomena whose origins are lost in the mists of time.
