Godfather tour and Taormina

Step into the world of “The Godfather” in Savoca

Bar Vitellli from Godfather film, Savoca

Our first stop is the picturesque village of Savoca, where Francis Ford Coppola filmed some of the most memorable scenes from “The Godfather.” Walk in the footsteps of Michael Corleone (Al Pacino) as you explore the iconic locations, such as the famous Bar Vitelli, where Michael asked for Apollonia’s hand in marriage. Don’t miss the chance to savor a refreshing Lemon Granita at this historic bar, just like the characters did in the movie.

Discover the medieval charm of Forza d’Agrò

Next, we’ll take you to Forza d’Agrò, a quintessential Sicilian village that has retained its medieval character. With its narrow cobblestone streets and stunning panoramic views, this town offers a glimpse into Sicily’s rich history. The vistas here are even more spectacular than those in Taormina, making it a photographer’s paradise.

Explore the breathtaking beauty of Castelmola

Castelmola

Our journey continues to Castelmola, a small town perched high above Taormina. Here, you’ll visit the Madonna della Rocca, a sanctuary offering extraordinary views of the Greek Theatre, the Church of Madonna della Rocca, and the ruins of a 13th-century Arab castle. Stroll through Castelmola’s charming streets and enjoy the unparalleled views of Mount Etna. Be sure to stop by the famous Bar Turrisi, known for its unique decor and delicious almond wine, a local specialty.

Immerse yourself in the magic of Taormina

The final highlight of our Godfather tour and Taormina experience is the town of Taormina itself. You’ll have free time to explore its historic center, wander through its elegant streets, and discover its hidden gems. Visit the Greek Theatre, one of the most iconic landmarks in Sicily, and marvel at its stunning views of the sea and Mount Etna. Other must-see attractions include Palazzo Corvaja, the Odeon, the public gardens, and Palazzo Duchi S. Stefano.
