Savoca: Between Cinema and Authenticity Savoca offers authentic views, ancient churches, and breathtaking panoramic scenery. Included in the tour is a comfortable ride on the iconic "La Dolce Vita" Ape Calessino, which will take you up to the Church of San Nicolò, where the wedding scene from The Godfather was filmed. From there, you'll have time to freely explore, take photos, and stroll through the charming streets of the village. The return to the meeting point will be a pleasant walk downhill.

A Dive into Cinematic Legend No visit to Savoca would be complete without stopping at the legendary Bar Vitelli, one of the most iconic locations from The Godfather. It was here that Michael Corleone, in one of the film’s most memorable scenes, asks Apollonia’s father for her hand in marriage, seated right under the shaded terrace of the bar. The atmosphere remains unchanged over time: vintage photographs, original details, and the unmistakable Sicilian charm will take you on a true journey into cinema history. Guests who wish to do so may choose to enter and sit down to enjoy the setting from a privileged perspective, with any refreshments available for purchase directly on site.

After exploring the wonders of Savoca, we will head to the refined Gelso Nero Restaurant, a place where Sicilian tradition is savored in every bite. Here, immersed in an authentic atmosphere filled with the essence of Sicily, you can enjoy fabulous dishes made with the freshest seasonal ingredients, carefully selected to offer the very best of local cuisine. The lunch included in the tour features a flavorful appetizer, a main course celebrating Sicilian culinary excellence, a traditional dessert to savor at your leisure, accompanied by a glass of fine Sicilian wine or a soft drink of your choice, plus a glass of water to complete the experience. For those wishing to enhance their meal further, additional dishes or beverages can be ordered and paid for directly on site. This gourmet break is not just a moment to refuel, but an immersion into the flavors and culture of a unique land, designed to make your tour an unforgettable experience.

Forza d’Agrò: a gem of history and breathtaking views, one of Sicily’s most authentic villages, known for its preserved atmosphere and spectacular Ionian coast panorama. Here, history meets landscape, offering unforgettable sights and a deep dive into genuine Sicilian culture. Discover two churches from The Godfather: the Church of San Nicolò, reached through a charming stone arch leading to the main square where the Sicilian puppet show took place during Michael Corleone and Apollonia’s wedding; and the Church of San Antonio Abate, featured in key scenes symbolizing the village’s spirituality. In the main square, a characteristic bar invites you to enjoy a drink of your choice, payable on site. Inside, you can admire the famous bicycle used by the priest in the film, a simple yet meaningful symbol of his humble and devoted life in old Sicily. Forza d’Agrò offers a unique mix of history, culture, and stunning views for an authentic, unforgettable experience.

After this wonderful tour, with the hope that it has left you with unforgettable memories of authentic and heartfelt Sicily, we will return together to Taormina or to the original pickup point, carrying with you a piece of the soul of this extraordinary land.
