What to expect
Your driver will collect you from Messina port and take you into the surrounding Sicilian region where Coppola shot exterior scenes. You'll visit several villages and rural areas, stopping where you choose to explore on foot. The landscape is hilly with traditional stone buildings, narrow streets, and sweeping views across the countryside. Most locations are walkable but involve some uneven ground and stairs. Bring comfortable shoes and sun protection. Lunch isn't provided, so plan meals in village cafés or bring provisions.
