Forza d'Agro

Located about 420 meters high, on a characteristic summit, Forza d'Agrò looks like a country of overwhelming beauty. Located between the provinces of Messina and Catania, in a strategic position, it stands out on the Ionian Sea and has a characteristic viewpoint overlooking the coast. The narrow and winding streets and the steep ravines are the main features of this medieval village, but here there are also houses from distant times, small and ancient, as well as delightful squares with particularly fascinating panoramic points.

Duration 60 minutes
5

Bar Vitelli

In 1971 thanks to the film "The Godfather" which magnifies and characterizes the Bar. Internationally famous, its lemon granita with Zibibbo is one of the best Sicilian granita, to be enjoyed together with the highly appreciated typical "A zuccarata" biscuit. The location of Bar Vitelli and Bar Vitelli Charming Suites with its 600 years of history, has been preserved over the years thanks to the restoration works that make it accessible as a whole today as a sought-after destination for visitors from all over the world.

Savoca

The Borgo di Savoca, nestled on a rocky bivertice hill 300 meters above sea level, was included in the list of the most beautiful villages in Italy in 2008. Country of seven faces and fertile land of stalwart wits; the Borgo di Savoca, from whatever side you look at, always offers new suggestive scenarios. Its history has its roots in the Roman era and has known Byzantines, Arabs and Normans. The name, according to the most accredited hypothesis, derives from the Elder tree (from the dialectal term "Sauca", from the medieval Latin "Sabucu"), but there are other assumptions that contribute to covering the village with charm and mystery.
