• Messina - Embark on “The Godfather” tour starting from your accommodation or the Port in Messina. Stroll through the charming, unchanged streets of Savoca and Forza d’Agro, visit historic churches, the famous Bar Vitelli where Michael Corleone asked Apollonia’s father for her hand in marriage, the church where they wed, and other iconic movie locations. 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 pristine medieval town that stood in for Corleone where Michael hid during the “going to the mattresses” period. Visit the ancient church of Santa Lucia, where Michael and Apollonia were married, and follow the same path down the hill that the newlyweds did. Explore another old church dating back to the 13th century. As you wander the enchanting streets of Savoca, you might even encounter some actors, such as the lady who played Apollonia’s mother and still resides in the town.
  Optionally, you can visit a family-owned restaurant and enjoy local Sicilian wines and traditional food on a terrace with a romantic sea view. The menu includes locally produced cheeses, salami, prosciutto, caponata, olives, extra virgin olive oil, fresh homemade bread, and homemade lemon granita, all prepared with organic, locally sourced ingredients.
• Bar Vitelli - In Savoca, visit Bar Vitelli, which looks just as it did in the movie. See the spot where Al Pacino’s character informed Apollonia’s father of his identity and intentions. Take photos with an authentic Sicilian shotgun “Lupara,” view movie stills 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 savor original Sicilian cannoli and lemon granita at Bar Vitelli.
• Forza d’Agro - Continue the tour in Forza d’Agro, another breathtaking hilltop town with “Godfather” ties. Walk through the deserted streets, explore the historic square, 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, and climb to the remains of a 12th-century Norman castle. Admire the stunning panoramic view of the Ionian coastline and experience the unchanged Sicilian pastoral lifestyle.
