Portopetro
Mountain vistas, sparkling beaches and tip-top pistachio ravioli – holidays to Forza d'Agro would make even Don Corleone smile.
This quaint Sicilian village is tucked quietly against a mountainside up in the north-east of the island. Featuring in a worldwide blockbuster – The Godfather – hasn't altered the place, either. Its cobbled streets have very few cars, and the village square offers breathtaking views of the Italian island countryside.
A 10-minute drive takes you to Forza d'Agro's sandy beach – and scooting along the twisty mountain road is an adventure on its own. Taormina's just 30 minutes away by car, where you'll find a Greek amphitheatre overlooking a bright blue bay and street carts selling lip-smacking gelato pops.
The streets of Forza d'Agro are perfect for a calm evening passeggiata – that's Italian for walk. Among the narrow lanes, you'll recognise the cathedral from The Godfather, and you'll pass by chapels and a centuries-old castle. There's even a funny museum displaying well-known Sicilian landmarks as chocolate sculptures.
