The Godfather Tour in Sicily: Discovering the Film's Villages

Total duration of the excursion: approximately 5 hours

Follow in the footsteps of the Corleone family with our The Godfather Tour in Sicily, an exclusive journey through history, cinema, and tradition. You will visit the authentic locations of the film directed by Francis Ford Coppola, exploring the charming villages of Forza d’Agrò and Savoca, nestled between the hills and the sea of Eastern Sicily.

A unique experience for cinema enthusiasts and those who want to discover the most authentic soul of Sicily, far from the most beaten tourist tracks.

What We Will See During The Tour

We will depart in the morning with pick-up included at your accommodation or a pre-established meeting point (Taormina, Giardini Naxos, Letojanni, or surrounding areas). Onboard a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle, we will head towards two of the most iconic locations from The Godfather trilogy.

Forza d’Agrò – First Stop

The tour begins in Forza d’Agrò, a panoramic and quiet village that served as the backdrop for several scenes set in the fictional village of Corleone.

Here you can visit:

  • The Mother Church, which appeared in numerous sequences of the film

  • The ancient Augustinian monastery, with a breathtaking view of the Ionian Sea

  • Medieval alleys and natural viewpoints that tell the story of the real Sicily

Forza d’Agrò keeps its authenticity intact and will make you feel like part of a cinematic scene.

Savoca – Second Stop

We will continue towards Savoca, a small medieval gem that became famous thanks to The Godfather.

Here we will explore:

  • Bar Vitelli, where Michael Corleone meets Apollonia's father

  • The Church of San Nicolò, where the famous wedding is celebrated

  • The historic center, rich in atmosphere, silence, and picturesque views

During the stop, you can soak in the tranquility of the village and, if you wish, enjoy a drink at Bar Vitelli.
