Milazzo sits on a narrow peninsula on Sicily's north coast and is the main gateway to the volcanic Aeolian Islands. Its huge hilltop castle encloses one of Sicily's largest walled citadels, layering Arab, Norman, Aragonese and Spanish fortifications above the medieval Borgo Antico.
The palm-lined Lungomare Garibaldi runs along the harbour, and the wild Capo Milazzo headland offers clear water and the Piscina di Venere rock pool. Hydrofoils reach Vulcano and Lipari in about an hour, and Taormina is a longer day trip.
