More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step off the air-conditioned minivan onto a narrow stone street framed by sun-bleached walls, and the air smells of citrus and sea. In Savoca the cobbles slope toward a tiny piazza where Bar Vitelli, the film's famous meeting place, still holds the same wooden counter and bottles that anchor scenes in The Godfather. The Ionian Coast sits below, daring you to look past modern life toward the hills that shaped these villages.
