Castiglione di Sicilia
The journey starts at the heliport, in the Etna and Alcantara Valley area.

Messina and Ganzirri
From above, Messina's coastline and the Ganzirri lakes trace a meeting of city, water and sea.

Torre Faro and the Pylon
Capo Peloro, where the Ionian and Tyrrhenian seas meet: the Pylon is this landscape's landmark.

Costa Viola, Chianalea and Scilla
Calabria's coastline unfolds between headlands and sea. Chianalea's houses meet the water; Scilla's Ruffo Castle overlooks the village.
