Helicopter Tours

Soar above Sicily and enjoy a birds-eye view of the island. Find a choice of tours departing from Etna Volo airfield, just a 20 minute drive from Grand Hotel Timeo. You can also upgrade your experience to include a lunch stop, hostess service or a guided tour.

Etna has remained active for centuries, with smoke plumes and lava flows shaping the ecology of the island. Journey above this lunar-like landscape and marvel as ancient pine forests and bright blue sky give way to black lava-rock stretches.

Look down from the craters at the summit of Mount Etna and fly above the dramatic Valle del Bove. The helicopter tour continues to Taormina, taking in views of Isola Bella, the Greek Theatre and Castelmola.

Soak up the wonders of the coast from a unique perspective. Fly north over to Montalbano and the Sanctuary of Tindari before continuing to the Aeolian Islands. Enjoy views of Vulcano, Salina, Panarea and Basiluzzo, before seeing the celebrated stream of fire known as ‘Sciara del Fuoco’ in Stromboli.

Skirt across Mount Etna before continuing southwest to Agrigento. See the Roman Villa at Piazza Armerina and picturesque Campobello di Licata. Touch down in Agrigento to visit the Valley of the Temples, beautifully preserved examples of Greek art and architecture. Take a guided tour and a picnic in the shade of the olive trees before returning back to Taormina.
