Best Places to Visit in Savoca

Nestled in the picturesque foothills of the Peloritani Mountains, the charming village of Savoca is a hidden gem waiting to be discovered. This quaint town, with its rich history and stunning views, offers a serene escape from the hustle and bustle of modern life. For those looking to explore the beauty of Savoca, our company, Happytripz, provides delightful excursions that will take you through the heart of this Sicilian treasure.

Bar Vitelli

One of the most iconic spots in Savoca is Bar Vitelli. Fans of "The Godfather" will instantly recognize the facade of this bar, as it was featured prominently in the film. Today, it houses a collection of memorabilia related to the movie, making it a pilgrimage site for cinephiles. Enjoy a refreshing lemon granita as you soak in the cinematic history. Don't forget to snap a photo on the famous front patio, which you can find on Google Maps.

Church of San Nicolò

Another must-visit is the Church of San Nicolò, or the Church of Saint Nicholas. Perched atop a hill, this church offers a panoramic view of the surrounding valleys and the Ionian Sea. Inside, you'll find beautiful frescoes and a sense of tranquility that fills the air. The church is not only a place of worship but also a testament to the town's medieval past.

The Catacombs of the Capuchin Monastery

For those with a taste for the macabre, the Catacombs of the Capuchin Monastery present an intriguing excursion. Here, you can find the mummified remains of the town's former residents, preserved for centuries. It's a hauntingly beautiful reminder of the town's respect for its ancestors and the passage of time.

Lastly, simply wandering the cobblestone streets of Savoca is an experience in itself. The town's medieval architecture, coupled with the breathtaking vistas, creates a storybook atmosphere.
