• Province of Messina - Upon disembarking from the ship, the Operator will be waiting at gate 5 of the cruise terminal. From there, the journey to Savoca will commence, taking approximately 1 hour by car.

• Savoca - Upon arrival in the artistic city of Savoca, a quaint village where numerous scenes from Fred Francis Coppola’s film “The Godfather” were filmed, the first stop will be at the Vitelli bar, renowned for its appearance in the movie. Here, visitors can enjoy a traditional Sicilian granita. Another highlight of the tour is the “Santa Maria in cielo Assunta” church, featured in the film during the wedding scene between Michael Corleone and Apollonia.

• Castelmola - Upon reaching Castelmola, visitors can admire one of Italy’s most beautiful villages and sample almond wine at the famous Bar Turrisi, known for its phallic-shaped decorations. These symbols are not considered vulgar but represent fertility, prosperity, and freedom, reflecting Greek cultural beliefs. Alex will also guide visitors to taste some delightful Sicilian cannoli, included in the tour price, courtesy of our friend Stefania Pitittitti.
