Long referred to as 'The Pearl of the Tyrrhenian Sea', Milazzo stands on a peninsula culminating in a small promontory that points out to the Aeolian Islands and stretches out into the sea between the Gulf of Patti and Messina, allowing simultaneous views of the volcanoes Etna, Stromboli and Vulcano.
Founded by the Greeks in 761 B.C., because of its natural beauty and privileged geographical position, Milazzo was for a long time disputed by populations that occupied it, leaving the distinctive features of their civilisations in its architecture, traditions and customs.
With its temperate climate and luxuriant Mediterranean nature, thanks to its long beaches and rocky promontory, Milazzo is a town with a predominantly seaside tourist vocation that expresses its full splendour from the spring months until late autumn.
However, even in the winter months there are countless places of interest and attractions offered by Milazzo and the surrounding area
