Sicily is one of the most beautiful regions of our beautiful country, a territory where nature and culture intertwine in a unique blend. Each Sicilian village contains years of history and stories that are expressed in the beauty of every little corner of this region, and you can find both unique archaeological and artistic sites, as well as breath-taking beaches and the wildest nature.

If you are on holiday, you can combine your stay in Sicily between relaxing on the beach and long walks to discover the history of Sicily. But whatever itinerary you choose to do in Sicily, it will be a continuous discovery of magical and enchanting places, even more so if you do it on a hot air balloon flight that will make it all the more exciting and why not, even romantic.

What areas of Sicily can be flown over in a hot air balloon?

You can choose to fly over the inland part of Sicily, for example, the suggestive Etna volcano and the park adjacent to it, or you can decide to make your balloon flight in the coastal areas and enjoy a 180° of the immense white sandy beaches from the heights.

During your hot air balloon ride you will always be accompanied by a pilot with years of experience carrying out flights of this type. Remember that the hot air balloon, not being a motorised vehicle, has the wind as its only engine, which will decide for you which route to take, giving you double the thrill.

All you have to do is let yourself get carried away by this mix of adrenaline and peace and think only about enjoying the breath-taking Sicilian landscape that you will have in front of you during the whole activity.

With whom to carry out this flight experience?

You can choose to do your balloon flight with a special person and enjoy these magical moments with them. At the end of the activity, you will also be given a flight certificate to prove that you have made your first balloon flight.

Once you have landed, depending on the route you have chosen, there are several ways to end this intense and incredible day. For example, if you are close to Mount Etna, you cannot miss a nice hike in the National Park on one of the many trails that this natural space has to offer. If instead you have decided to stay in the coastal area you can stop near the beautiful beaches of Taormina such as the beach of Mazzeo, Mazzaro or the gardens of Naxos.

Wherever you are, you will always be surrounded by the love and hospitality of the Sicilian people, known for their kindness, courtesy and attention to their tourists. In addition, you can't miss tasting some good local food. Without too much effort you are sure to find a good restaurant or trattoria that will prepare one of the many traditional dishes of Sicilian cuisine.

Sicily, as you will see, offers a myriad of experiences that will enrich your sight and heart with culture, beauty and flavours. Combining this fantastic holiday with a hot air balloon flight will make your stay in Sicily even more magical and special that it would already be.
