Messina holidays

Few places can match Taormina’s superb position perched on a series of high terraces overhung with semi-tropical gardens, surveying a breathtakingly beautiful coastline. Wherever you are, Mount Etna, Europe’s tallest volcano at 3,320m, towers above. Taormina has an elegance and style created by a rich history in which the Greeks, Romans and Spaniards all had a hand. The beautiful villas and palazzos blend in with delightful narrow streets, small cafes, restaurants and well kept gardens to create a relaxing environment.

Milazzo is a charming town at the beginning of a 6km long peninsula on the Northern coast of Sicily, situated some 30km west of Messina. Known mainly for its port, it is the main link to the Aeolian Islands. Often overlooked by mainstream tourism, it is a little piece of heaven with a thriving town and a splendid 2km tree-lined promenade where you can enjoy watching or joining in with the classical Italian “passeggiata”.
