Estimated arrival in Savoca, the famous village where the film "The Godfather" was filmed. In Savoca we will visit the Bar Vitelli, present in various scenes of the film, and the ancient cathedral where the wedding scene between Michael Corleone (played by Al Pacino) and Apollonia was filmed.
Subsequently we reach the ancient village of Castelmola.
During the tour of Castelmola you can visit the famous Turrisi bar, characterized by the presence of phallic shapes, where it will be possible to taste the famous almond wine. You can also taste excellent Sicilian cannoli or other typical products, offered by Booking Sicily Tours.
The third stage of the tour is the arrival in Taormina, with a stop at "Porta Catania". Once in Taormina it will be possible to visit the Greco-Roman amphitheater and the beautiful Corso Umberto, the ancient street of Taormina. After visiting the city of Taormina we move to admire the famous panorama of Isola Bella from one of the most characteristic panoramic points of our land.

WHAT'S INCLUDED

WHAT TO EXPECT

1.
We will stop in the art city of Savoca where we can visit the Vitelli bar, where it will be possible to taste a typical Sicilian granita. Another stop on our tour will be the church of "Santa Maria in cielo Assunta" which we also find in some excerpts of the film such as that of the wedding between Michael Corleone and Apollonia.
2.
Once you disembark from the ship, I will wait for you at the cruise terminal, at the gate 5 exit of the port of Messina where I will be there waiting for you with a sign with your name and surname. From here we will begin our journey to Savoca, which will last approximately 1 hour by car.
3.
Once you arrive in Castelmola you can admire one of the most beautiful villages in Italy and taste the almond wine in the very famous Bar Turrisi known for the presence of phallic shapes used as decorations. These symbols are not to be designated as vulgar, but as a symbol of fertility, prosperity and freedom according to the ideas of Greek culture. Alex will also take you to taste some delicious Sicilian cannoli, included in the price of this tour, from our friend Stefania Pitittitti.
4.
The last stop of our tour will be Taormina. We will arrive at Piazza San Pancrazio, where travelers will make their tour and will be able to visit the characteristic streets of Corso Umberto, admire the beautiful landscapes and go to the Greek-Roman theater of Taormina (the cost of the entrance ticket is excluded from the price of the tour) .
5.
Once our tour is finished we will return to the starting point of the cruise ship terminal

We had the best time on this tour. Alex picked us up, brought us everywhere we were hoping to see and some more. We saw some famous sights from the Godfather movie, tried almond wine (in a hilarious pub, you’ll see) and had one of the best canolies I’ve ever had. He even bought me a Sicily magnet that I will always cherish. He was so patient and nice to us. It was truly like spending the day with a friend My only complaint is that it was over all too soon! Thanks Alessandro you’re the best!!
