• Porta Messina - Embark on “The Godfather” tour starting from Taormina, where you will stroll through the charming, unchanged streets of Savoca and Forza d’Agro, just as they appeared in the film. Visit historic churches, the renowned Bar Vitelli where Michael Corleone asked for Apollonia’s hand in marriage, the church where they wed, and other iconic movie locations. Later, savor a traditional lunch featuring locally sourced cheeses, salami, prosciutto, caponata, parmigiana, olives, extra virgin olive oil, fresh homemade bread, and lemon sorbet, all while enjoying a romantic sea view from the terrace.
• Savoca - The first stop is Savoca, a pristine medieval town that served as a stand-in for Corleone, where Michael hid during the “going to the mattresses” period. Walk to the ancient church of Santa Lucia, where Michael and Apollonia were married, kneeling in the doorway. Follow the same path down the hill as the newlyweds and visit another historic church from the 13th century. Strolling through the enchanting streets of Savoca, you might even encounter some actors, such as the lady who played Apollonia’s mother and still resides in Savoca.

Later, you have the option to visit a family-owned restaurant and enjoy local Sicilian wines with traditional food on a terrace with a romantic sea view. The menu includes locally produced cheeses, salami, prosciutto, caponata, olives, extra virgin olive oil, fresh homemade bread, and homemade lemon granita, all prepared with organic, locally sourced ingredients - “km0”!

• Bar Vitelli - In Savoca, visit Bar Vitelli, which remains unchanged from the movie, and see the spot where Al Pacino revealed his identity as Michael Corleone to Apollonia’s father, saying, “there are people who’d pay a lot of money for that information, but then your daughter would lose a father instead of gaining a husband.” Here, you can take photos with an authentic Sicilian shotgun “Lupara,” view movie stills and a mirror monument for Coppola, enjoy the panoramic Mediterranean view from the square where the wedding scene was filmed, purchase “The Godfather” souvenirs, and indulge in original Sicilian cannoli and lemon granita at Bar Vitelli.
• Forza d’Agro - The tour continues in Forza d’Agro, another breathtaking hilltop town with ties to “The Godfather.” Walk through the deserted streets (“Where have all the men gone?” - “They’re dead from vendettas”), explore the historic square and view movie stills, visit ancient churches, see the piazza where young Vito Andolini (later Vito Corleone) escaped Don Ciccio’s men by hiding in a basket on a donkey’s back, ascend to the remnants of a 12th-century Norman castle, admire the stunning panoramic view of the Ionian coastline, and experience the unchanged Sicilian pastoral lifestyle since ancient times.
