• Via Etnea - On “The Godfather” tour, starting from your accommodation or the Port in Catania, you’ll stroll through the charming streets of Savoca and Forza d’Agro, which have remained unchanged since the film was made. You’ll visit ancient churches, the famous Bar Vitelli where Michael Corleone asked Apollonia’s father for her hand in marriage, the church where they wed, and other filming locations. Later, enjoy a traditional lunch featuring locally produced cheeses, salami, prosciutto, caponata, parmigiana, olives, extra virgin olive oil, fresh homemade bread, and lemon sorbet, all while taking in a romantic sea view from the terrace.
• Savoca - The first stop is Savoca, a well-preserved medieval town that stood in for Corleone, where Michael hid during the “going to the mattresses” period. You’ll walk to the ancient church of Santa Lucia, where Michael and Apollonia were married, and follow the same path down the hill that the newlyweds did. You’ll also visit another old church dating back to the 13th century. As you wander the beautiful streets of Savoca, you might even meet some actors, such as the lady who played Apollonia’s mother and still resides in Savoca.
  Later, you can optionally visit a family-owned restaurant and, on a terrace with a romantic sea view, taste local Sicilian wines paired with traditional food (locally produced cheeses, salami, prosciutto, caponata, olives, extra virgin olive oil, fresh homemade bread, homemade lemon granita—all prepared with organic, locally sourced ingredients—“km0”!).
• Bar Vitelli - In Savoca, you’ll visit Bar Vitelli, which looks just as it did in the movie. You’ll see the exact spot where Al Pacino’s character informed Apollonia’s father that his name was Michael Corleone and that “there are people who’d pay a lot of money for that information, but then your daughter would lose a father instead of gaining a husband.” Here, you can take pictures with an authentic Sicilian shotgun “Lupara,” see photos from the movie and a mirror monument for Coppola, enjoy a panoramic view of the Mediterranean from the square where the wedding scene was filmed, purchase “The Godfather” souvenirs, and—“leave the gun, take the cannoli”—taste original Sicilian cannoli and lemon granita at Bar Vitelli.
• Forza d’Agro - The tour continues in Forza d’Agro, another stunning hilltop town with a “Godfather” connection. You’ll walk the deserted streets (“Where have all the men gone?”—“They’re dead from vendettas”), explore the historic square and see photos from the movie, visit ancient churches, see the piazza where young Vito Andolini (later Vito Corleone) escaped Don Ciccio’s men by hiding in a basket on a donkey’s back, walk up to see the remains of a 12th-century Norman castle, admire the delightful panoramic view of the Ionian coastline, and get a taste of the Sicilian pastoral lifestyle that has remained unchanged since ancient times.
