Savoca
1 hour
Once we leave Messina we will head towards Savoca also known as the "town with seven faces" because, wherever you look, the horizon always offers new scenarios. In its territory there are monumental buildings of medieval, Renaissance and Baroque origin. City of art, since 2008, it preserves, in its historic centre, the ruins of an ancient medieval synagogue, transformed into a residential home after 1470. Savoca is famous for being chosen as the set for numerous highly successful films, including Francis Ford Coppola's The Godfather in 1972 and The Stolen Life in 2007. In fact, among the many stops that we will visit, the main tourist attraction of this enchanting village will certainly not be missing, the "Bar Vitelli", located at the entrance to the town, where in one of the scenes of "The Godfather" the protagonist Michael was Corleone, played by Al Pacino to come in for a drink.

Castelmola
2 hours
Castelmola, thanks to its breathtaking panorama and its colours, is considered among the most beautiful and picturesque villages in Italy. Its historical-artistic treasures, including the castle and medieval monuments, distinguish it as a small jewel in the province of Messina. Its name derives from the Norman fortress which represents its symbol and of which today only ruins remain. Our tour will start from the historic centre, which with purely medieval characteristics is divided into a labyrinth of narrow streets. Among our main stops, there will also be the very famous Bar Turrisi characterized by the presence of phallic shapes as entire decorations. This idea is not, however, to be considered vulgar, but rather a strong influence of ancient Greek culture as a symbol of freedom, fertility and life. Here you can taste the famous almond wine, the excellent Sicilian cannoli and many other typical products.

Taormina
3 hours
Third stop of our tour will be Taormia. Thanks to its wonderful location and its unique natural beauty, this city is considered the Pearl of the Ionian. The birth of this important tourist center is linked to the arrival, in 358 BC, of some Greek refugees from the nearby city of Naxos, an ancient Greek colony. From this origin came the name Tauromènion, which then evolved into the current one. The historic center is rich in monuments and its natural conformation makes Taormina seem like a beautiful panoramic terrace. There are many things you will have the opportunity to visit and see in Taormina, among all there is certainly the Greek Theater, symbol of this city, which offers a breathtaking view of the turquoise sea and the gulf dominated by Etna. Furthermore, Corso Umberto, the beating heart of Taormina, will make you lose yourself among the many shops and the characteristic streets and small stairways decorated with a Sicilian theme and full of typical symbols of our beautiful Sicily.
