Alcantara over space and time

• Group tour with guide • Cultural tour • With the presence of an astrophysicist

Since the beginning of history, men were attracted by the sky and stars trying to create on land what they thought to see above themselves. Sicily offers also the experience to walk through space and time, between two sides of a mirror that reflects their vision.


The Alcantara Valley is full of enchanting places, sometimes fairytale-like. It is located northeast of the Sicilian Island, nestled between the volcanic complex of Etna Park to the south and the Peloritani and Nebrodi mountains to the north. The park has its territory between the provinces of Catania and Messina where you can see magnificent Greek-Roman Theaters, rich museums, a rock complex, Sicilian-Greek necropolis.

We will taste the traditional dishes of genuine food and will discover ancient rock wine presses that talk about the millenary habit to produce God's nectar, we will visit an ancient mill dating back to 1600 and we will witness the grinding of ancient Sicilian grains and the production of flour.

The Argimusco Plateau, in Montalbano Elicona, is a naturalistic site of rare beauty characterized by large rocks with zoomorphic and anthropomorphic shapes, some studies try to describe a link between the form and position of constellations and the position of the rocks in the plateau.

We will observe Milky Way and some interesting celestial bodies with a professional telescope with a gaze to the magic feeling you can find in some places
