|FROM CATANIA| The Godfather - Savoca and Taormina [PRIVATE]｜Italy

Private "The Godfather" tour to Savoca and Taormina tour in English, Spanish, and Italian.

Departure at 9:00 AM from Catania, with prior pickup from your hotel.
If the hotel is located in a restricted traffic area, we will meet at the nearest meeting point.
Our first destination is Savoca, a village located about 300 meters above sea level that still retains a medieval origin. However, the village owes its fame to the famous 1971 film "The Godfather" directed by Francis Ford Coppola.
In Piazza Fossia, the 18th-century Trimarchi Palace still bears the sign of the famous "Bar Vitelli" where Michael Corleone spoke with the father of his future wife Apollonia. Here, we will order something while seated at the protagonist's table from the film and admire the antique objects and cinema photos that make this place a small museum.
After the break, we will visit the Church of San Nicolò where the marriage between Michael Corleone and the godfather's daughter took place.
After strolling along the historic center's streets, we will continue our tour towards the "Pearl of the Ionian Sea" - Taormina, the favorite destination of European nobles and artists of the nineteenth century, made famous by Goethe's writings.
Taormina boasts its Greek Theater, home to the annual "Taormina Film Fest."
The panoramic views from every angle are simply breathtaking.
The Villa Comunale, designed by the English noblewoman Lady Florence Trevelyan, features pavilions inspired by oriental constructions, fragrant Mediterranean and exotic plants, and a view of Mount Etna and the Gulf of Giardini-Naxos that is unforgettable. Corso Umberto, with its fascinating boutiques, is a "temple of luxury," while historic bars and souvenir shops delight every visitor.
You can eat, shop, take photos, linger, and admire the beauty, ready to surprise the visitor at every alley, corner, street, and panorama.
Taormina is a joy for those who are captivated by the subtle yet brazen energy of the place.
"Taormina," love without reservation!
