About this experience
Travelers will embark on a private excursion starting from the cruise terminal to Savoca, which is about a 40-minute drive. In Savoca, known for being a filming location of The Godfather, participants will visit iconic sites like the Vitelli bar and the cathedral where Michael Corleone got married. The group will then proceed to Castelmola, approximately 30 minutes from Savoca, where they can enjoy stunning views of Mount Etna from this small village atop Taormina. After spending about an hour in Castelmola, the journey continues to Taormina, a picturesque city accessible only on foot, filled with shops and eateries. After a 2 to 3 hour stay in Taormina, the return to Messina includes a scenic tour of Isola Bella. The final stops are at the Sanctuary of Christ the King, offering panoramic views over the Strait of Messina, and the Duomo cathedral, home to the largest astronomical clock in Europe. The schedule is structured to optimize time in Sicily and ensure timely return to the cruise ship.
