About this tour

What to expect
You'll spend the morning navigating Savoca's hillside lanes, stopping at the famous corner bar for the local speciality—a sharp lemon granita. The village remains genuinely lived-in rather than polished for visitors; expect narrow passages, locals going about their day, and genuine glimpses of how film locations appear when cameras aren't rolling. From there, Forza d'Agrò offers steeper terrain and more expansive vistas, with medieval architecture preserved in its original layout. You'll finish in Taormina, where the pace shifts to a more cosmopolitan Sicilian town. The day suits all fitness levels, though expect some climbing through village streets.
Good to know
Wear comfortable walking shoes for village exploration. The granita stop is genuinely excellent and worth trying. Forza d'Agrò's views are best in clear weather. Bring sun protection for open hilltop stretches. Infants and small children can travel in prams or specialist seats.
