The Salinello Gorges (35-minute drive) are a natural marvel within driving distance. These deep gorges are located between the Twin Mountains and crafted by the River Salinello. The canyon boasts streams, waterfalls, lakes, springs, and incredible cave systems. There is even an ancient monastery to be found in these caves.
