TOUR SAVOCA (THE GODFATHER)

Departure:

Port of Messina

Journey to the heart of Sicilian history and culture with a visit to Savoca, a small village known for its scenic beauty and rich heritage. This medieval town gained international fame as one of the filming locations for The Godfather. After departing from Messina, we’ll take a scenic drive through the countryside before arriving in Savoca.

The first stop is the legendary Bar Vitelli, where many scenes from The Godfather were filmed. You’ll have time to take photos, enjoy a refreshing drink, and soak in the authentic Sicilian atmosphere. As you stroll through Savoca’s narrow, cobblestone streets, you’ll discover centuries-old churches like Chiesa di San Nicolò, where Michael Corleone’s wedding was filmed. You’ll also visit the Convent of the Capuchins, home to an eerie display of mummified monks that provide a glimpse into Savoca’s unique history.

Savoca’s hilltop location offers breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape, including the Ionian Sea and rolling hills of olive and citrus groves. After exploring the town’s hidden gems and reliving moments from the film, you’ll return to Messina with unforgettable memories of Sicilian tradition and cinematic history.
