Useful information
Milazzo in 2 hours
A level walk between the port and the edge of the old town, for anyone with a departure close by.
- Start on Via dei Mille and follow the port.
- Reach Marina Garibaldi and look at the front of the town.
- If you still have margin, enter the old town without climbing to the citadel.
- Walk back to the piers with time to spare. The boat time is not on this site.
Visit times are a guide only.
Milazzo in half a day
The old town and the citadel, or the cape if the sea matters more than history. The planner chooses according to what you prefer.
- Climb into the old town and, if legs and time hold, to the citadel.
- Stay on one side: castle or cape, not both.
- Lunch is not booked by this itinerary. Look at the selection, if there is one.
Visit times are a guide only.
Milazzo in a day
Morning on the promontory, afternoon on the cape. It is a full day, not a list of ten stops.
- Morning: old town and citadel, without rushing.
- Afternoon: the cape, the Pool of Venus only if the sea is calm, or Baia del Tono.
- If the light holds, a point to the west for sunset, with the return already decided.
Visit times are a guide only.
