  Autres infos...

  Nearby there is a canyon formed by the Cassibile River in the Hyblaean (Iblei) Mountains a few kilometers from the long-abandoned Avola Antica in the island's south-eastern region, boasting a spectacular setting. The surrounding cliffs, dotted with poplars and oleander, reach over five hundred meters, and the river can be reached only along winding, rocky paths. The canyon is about ten kilometers in length, and this part of the winding river features numerous pools and small water falls. Swimming is permitted in some areas. Principal - and easiest - access is about 5km far from the land.
