Overview

A tour with Alessandro can be special for several reasons, especially if the focus is on the quality of the experience and the authenticity of the explorations. Here are some elements that could make a tour with him unique: 1. In-depth knowledge of Sicilian History and Culture Alessandro could have a thorough knowledge of Sicilian history, art and culture, offering participants an authentic immersion in local tradition. This makes the tour not only a visual experience, but also a cultural one, with little-known historical details and tales enriching the visit. 2. Authentic and Local Experiences One aspect that could distinguish Alessandro’s tour is access to authentic experiences that are often not included in mass tours. This could mean visits to small villages, tastings of local products such as cannoli and almond wine.

    Itinerary

    1. 1

      Messina

      1 hour

      Once you disembark from the ship, I will wait for you at the cruise terminal, at the gate 5 exit of the port of Messina where I will be there waiting for you with a sign with your name and surname. From here we will begin our journey to Savoca, which will last approximately 1 hour by car.

    2. 2

      Bar Vitelli

      1 hour

      We will stop in the art city of Savoca where we can visit the Vitelli bar, where it will be possible to taste a typical Sicilian granita. Another stop on our tour will be the church of "Santa Maria in cielo Assunta" which we also find in some excerpts of the film such as that of the wedding between Michael Corleone and Apollonia.

    3. 3

      Castelmola

      1.5 hours

      Once you arrive in Castelmola you can admire one of the most beautiful villages in Italy and taste the almond wine in the very famous Bar Turrisi known for the presence of phallic shapes used as decorations. These symbols are not to be designated as vulgar, but as a symbol of fertility, prosperity and freedom according to the ideas of Greek culture. Alex will also take you to taste some delicious Sicilian cannoli, included in the price of this tour, from our friend Stefania Pitittitti.
