Overview

Taormina and Savoca tour is one of the most exciting Sicily day tours from Messina (port or city center) in particular for the lovers of the Godfather.

From the departing point, we will reach the ancient town of Savoca Sicily, a wonderful medieval village, named one of the most beautiful villages in Italy.

You will start a little Savoca tour, following the footsteps of the Godfather movie by F.F. Coppola, to whom a statue is dedicated in the panoramic square of the village. This square is very popular also for hosting the famous bar Vitelli. Our guides will explain to you its history and its festivals.

Then we will leave for Taormina, known as the “Pearl of the Mediterranean”. You will have a stroll in its ancient Corso Umberto, which has been recently one of the White Lotus Sicily locations for season 2.
We are waiting for you, we are ready to welcome you to live together with us the fantastic experience of the Taormina and Savoca tour, you will not regret it!
