Sicily holidays
A cinematic Sicilian escape
The hilltop town of Forza d’Agro in Sicily is so picturesque that it looks like a film set – which indeed it once was, as it’s where Francis Ford Coppola filmed parts of ‘The Godfather’. Sitting on a mountainside, this medieval settlement has a ruined castle above it and a beautiful cathedral in the centre.
There are dream-like views across the surrounding mountains and sea from the town piazza, which is fragrant with lemon, mint and oregano. Forza d’Agro holidays offer the chance to explore this beautiful part of eastern Sicily, especially the scenic Ionian Riviera.
On the coast, pearl-white sands meet clear blue sea and views sweep over the hills. This is a great base for exploration, with the town of Taormina and the brooding Mount Etna within easy reach. Holidays to Forza d’Agro don’t just offer up the Sicily of the movies, they also provide a superb gateway to the whole of the island’s east coast.
Your Forza d’Agro questions, answered
It’s surprisingly easy to reach some sand and sea – a 10-minute drive down the winding mountain road will lead you to the hill-backed beach at Marina d’Agro.
Hiring a car is essential if you want to explore the local area and visit the fascinating towns and villages along the coast and inland.
Sicily’s largest and most famous volcano is only a 90-minute drive from Forza d’Agro, so you can easily manage to visit on a day trip.
