In the downtown of Milazzo, a lively village on coast near Messina, you will stumble upon a rich cultural and gastronomic heritage that is all yours to discover. Starting from the imposing Milazzo Castle, the town symbol, you will be able to enjoy a breathtaking view over the Tyrrhenian Sea. This thousand-year old fortress, standing witness to numerous historic events, encloses the Town Museum, where are showcased archeological finds that tell the story of the town from ancient Greece until nowadays.
The alleys of Milazzo’s historic center are a true treasure trove of architectural jewels where the elegance of Sicilian Baroque jumps to the eye from the façades of churches and palaces. Among the main religious edifices, two that really stand out are the Sanctuary of San Francesco Da Paola and the Chiesa Del Carmine, which are - the former with its richly decorated naves and the latter with its Rococo and late-Renaissance elements - very different, yet as beguiling specimens of the town architecture.
And yet, it isn’t just architecture what makes Milazzo such an intriguing place. Its food tradition is renowned all over the island for the freshness and genuineness of its dishes. In the many restaurants downtown, you will have the chance of savoring dishes made with fresh fish such as spaghetti with seafood or fried fish but most of all cod, which is traditionally prepared here with white olives, capers, parsley and garlic. The simple, yet tasty dishes of this place will be enhanced by a glass of local wine that will surely make their flavors come alive. So if you are thinking about stopping in Milazzo on your journey around Sicily, start noting down your food bucket list!
With Milazzo as your starting point, you will have the opportunity of exploring a range of beguiling destinations and enrich your journey with unforgettable cultural, natural and culinary experiences. Near Milazzo are many breathtaking settings that are worth exploring: first of all, just 7 kilometers away from downtown is Capo Milazzo, one of the prettiest beaches in Sicily, nicknamed “The Pool of Venus” for its crystal clear sea.
Not far away from here by car are also the gorgeous Aeolian Islands, an archipelago of seven volcanic islands emerging from the Tyrrhenian Sea. From Milazzo you can board a ferry to Lipari, the biggest among the Aeolian islands, famous for its white and black sandy beaches, its archeological sites and evocative town center.
On the other hand, if you are a nature lover, don’t miss the chance of visiting the Nebrodi National Park, an extensive protected area that stretches across mountains, woods and rivers where you will be able to go on excursions, spot rare animal species and savor traditional cuisine in mountain cabins.
To plunge yourself into Sicilian history and culture, go on a trip to Tindari, an ancient archeological site located on a hill overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea. Behold the remains of the ancient Greek-Roman theater and the basilica, and visit the sanctuary of the Black Madonna, a spiritual destination for many pilgrims. Last but not least, don’t forget to spend some time on the Cyclops Riviera on the north-eastern coast of Sicily, made legendary by its rock formations and sea grottos.
