Milazzo is known as the gateway to the Aeolian Islands, an archipelago of rare beauty.

From the port of Milazzo, located just minutes from the Eolian Penthouse, you can easily reach the islands with our private inflatable boat rental service with skipper, to explore every hidden corner of the archipelago at your own pace.

Here are some of the islands not to be missed:

• Panarea: The most exclusive island, with its hidden coves and chic, relaxed atmosphere.
• Vulcano: Perfect for a soak in the thermal mud and a hike to the top of the crater..
• Stromboli: An active volcano with spectacular eruptions visible at night, especially from the Sciara del Fuoco.
• Salina: Green and lush, famous for the production of capers and the famous Malvasia wine.

From Milazzo, you can easily explore other wonders of Sicily, such as Mount Etna and Catania, all within a day’s drive. Out of these, Taormina stands out for its timeless charm: the Greek Theatre overlooking Mount Etna, the elegant streets of the centre and the beaches of Isola Bella will leave you breathless.

Milazzo is also much more, though: a town rich in history, natural beauty, and picturesque corners to be discovered a stone’s throw from a protected marine area.

The Castle of Milazzo: One of the largest fortified citadels in Europe, with breathtaking views over the city and the sea.
The Bay of Sant’Antonio and the Pool of Venus: A spectacular natural pool surrounded by cliffs, ideal for a relaxing excursion.
Capo Milazzo: An enchanting promontory offering scenic paths and unforgettable sunsets.
Il Borgo Antico: Wander through the historic streets of the village to discover Sicilian authenticity.
