Catania has been a prize of many empires over the centuries, from Greeks to Romans to Arabs to Normans to Spaniards (to name a few). But its citizens have a more dangerous enemy right in their backyard—Mount Etna, Europe's largest and most active volcano, which destroyed the city with earthquakes and lava flows in 1693. Look closely at the baroque buildings dating from after the eruption—you'll notice a creative use of lava.

Enjoy a memorable view of Taormina and Mount Etna as you fly above the volcano’s active craters and Taormina’s famous ancient Greek theater.
Inclusions: Round trip transfer service from Hotels in Taormina, Letojanni, Giardini Naxos to the helipad, 35 min. helicopter tour over the Etna & Taormina
Exclusions: Personal expenses, Gratuities, Food and drinks
Although the owner was pleasant, he seemed to have limited knowledge/information about the wines. The Sicilian dishes supposed to be paired were a piece of bread with sundried tomatoes on it and a fish ball - that’s it, nothing else. Not paired with wines as advertised and no other food or nibbles, again as advertised in the pictures. The wines were nice but but barely a mouthful. Once the restaurant started getting busy we were ignored so just left. Really not worth the money as we walked to a nearby bar a bought a bottle of similar quality wine for €22 and got free snacks!!
