Highlights
Milazzo and Tindari Sicily are places of devotion, archaeology, military, and maritime power: let’s experience these two towns with their historical and impressive heritage. The ancient Greek colony of Tyndaris is today a famous religious destination due to the Byzantine simulacrum of the Black Madonna of Tindari, held in the majestic Sanctuary. Discover the rich archaeological area and the Antiquarium where you can live the Greek and Roman lifestyle of ancient times: in Tindari you will visit the ruins of a villa decorated with precious mosaics and equipped with a thermal plant. What do you think about a thermal bath? Located in front of the archipelago of the Aeolian Islands, the town of Milazzo is characterized by the ancient village (Borgo Antico) dominated by the fortress, where we can experience the medieval history featured by various populations that built the Citadel or the Castle in different phases: Normans, Swabians, and Spaniards left their marks over the centuries.

About Messina
Messina, in north-east Sicily, is a port city on the Strait of Messina, facing Calabria across a narrow stretch of fast-flowing water.
Messina occupies the north-east tip of Sicily, where the strait is only a few kilometres wide and ferries cross constantly to the Italian mainland. An earthquake and tsunami in December 1908 destroyed most of the city, so its centre was rebuilt with wide streets and low buildings. The cathedral, rebuilt after the earthquake and again after wartime damage, has a bell tower with a large astronomical clock whose mechanical figures move at noon.
Top-ranked sights in Messina: Fountain of Neptune (Fontana di Nettuno), Bell Tower and Astronomical Clock (Orologio Astronomico), Church of the Santissima Annunziata dei Catalani (Chiesa della Santissima Annunziata dei Catalani).
