Sicily tours, Sicily holidays, Etna tour by SicilyLife

a Step Back in Time in Savoca, Forza D'Agrò and Castelmola:Enjoy an introduction to the real Sicily, exploring the towns of Savoca and Forza D'Agro with your local expert driver who so proudly call these area's home.

Starting from your hotel to visit Castelmola, medieval hill town above Taormina with breathtaking sea and Etna views, then drive to arrive in Savoca and it will be like taking a step back in time.  Savoca is not a tourist town, it is a simple every day "local" town set on the hillside of the foothills of the S. Peloritiani. What makes it different to the other towns? This is where Al Pacino and Cast shot the Godfather Film. While in town "a must" is the stop for a Lemon Granita at the famous bar "VITELLI" on the corner of the town, one of Coppola's favorite spots, and seen many times throughout the film. Then make your way to the church of St. Lucy where the scene of the wedding between Apollonia and Michael was shot!

From Savoca we will visit Forza d'Agrò which is without a doubt one of the best examples of a typical village of the Province of Messina which still conserves its medieval street layout and on all sides of the town you have the most incredible views. Here we have tradition, culture, history, art all awaiting for you. Our Experience today will not simply be an introduction to two typical Sicilian Towns but a real insight into the island, the locals, their culture and every day way of life not to mention a visit or two to some of the most beautiful hidden corners of this area way off the beaten track. We will then drive you back to your hotel. (tour duration 4 hours)
