About Motta Camastra
Motta Camastra is a small Sicilian village perched above the Alcantara Valley, where medieval stone lanes, Norman-era roots and dramatic lava landscapes sit side by side. Its position between Taormina and Mount Etna makes it a natural base for history and culture experiences that pair the valley's layered past with the volcano's geology, such as the Mount Etna & Alcantara River Tour from Catania: Nature, Flavors & Lava Caves or the 3-Hour Guided E-Bike Tour of the Alcantara Valley with Winery Picnic.
