SAVOCA/ FORZA D’AGRÒ: THE GODFATHER TOUR (Half Day)

Depart to Savoca which is considered to be one of the most attractive places in the surroundings of Taormina. Bar Vitelli with a wonderful terrace, has a collection of photographs taken when Francis Ford Coppola shot some scenes of "The Godfather II". Taste a "granita" in the Bar Vitelli then walk to the Chiesa Madre with its fine 16C portal surmounted by a beautifully carved oculus and the coat of arms of Savoca, bearing the elderberry branch from which the name of the town is supposed to derive. Continue then to Forza d'Agrò an attractive medieval hamlet caps the furthermost spurs of the Monti Peloritani with a splendid view of the coast. Savoca and Forza d’Agrò, with their quiet streets and peaceful atmosphere, are surrounded by beautiful mountainous scenery, and have several fascinating old churches.
