Taormina Shore Excursion - This private shore trip visits many of the sites related to "The Godfather" movie series including the picturesque towns of Savoca and Forza d'Agro. You will see actual places where the films were shot and enjoy wonderful views of the Sicilian countryside and shoreline.
After meeting your guide you drive along the coastal road where you'll see villas, gardens and gorgeous views of the sea on your way to the artistic town of Savoca. Once you arrive you will enjoy a walking tour to include sites associated with the The Godfather movies, made famous by Francis Ford Coppola. Movie buffs will remember from the film that after Micheal's wedding, he and two companions walk down from the
church to Vitelli's Bar for the reception. The bar is located on the main piazza of town and there are stunning views of the sea from here.
You will enter the bar which has remain unchanged since and the table where Michael sat to ask the padrone for the hand of his delightful daughter Apollonia is still there. You'll have the chance to see a collection of photos of famous scenes shot here and then you can taste the famous Sicilian's granita (chopped ice with lemon juice).
After exploring the main streets of Savoca you'll drive to Forza d'Agro which was chosen for the filming to stand in for the actual town of Corleone
because it is more picturesque and also because the real Mafia (in
Corleone) did not want the films to be made. In 1990, Al Pacino and Sophia Coppola shot scenes for the Godfather III here. After a tour of the town including visiting Chiesa Madre and Saint Agostino churches, you return to Taormina.
