This half-day tour takes you into the Sicilian hills to Savoca and Forza d'Agro—two medieval villages largely unchanged since the 1970s—to walk the same stone streets used in some of cinema's most iconic scene.

Exciting flight experience to discover the volcano Etna and its natural wonders with take-off from the private helipad of Fiumefreddo di Sicilia. The tour includes shuttle service with pick-up by car from Taormina / Giardini Naxos, a welcome drink/coffee and safety briefings with experienced pilots. Flying by helicopter over Mount Etna means embracing summit craters, recent flows and the gigantic Valle del Bove at a glance. It is the most spectacular and safest way to read the “breath” of the volcano and understand how much its continuous eruptions shape the landscape. Highlights: Summit craters (Bocca Nuova, Voragine, SE, NE) and their morphological variations after eruption, Valle del Bove and the great collapse scars, Bottoniere and recent lava fields, 360° panoramas of eastern Sicily and the Aeolian Islands.
