Additional Information

Milazzo and Tindari Sicily are regions rich in religious, archaeological, military, and maritime history. Explore these two locations and their profound historical impact. The one-time Greek colony of Tyndaris, now a well-known religious site, thanks to the Byzantine effigy of the Black Madonna of Tindari, which is housed in the grand Sanctuary.

At Tindari, see the remnants of a villa adorned with invaluable mosaics and complete with a thermal plant, perfect for a dip.

A truly educational and enlightening experience, with spectacular views! - Kudos to the tour company, “Discover Messina”. They did a fabulous job showing and explaining both the fortress of Milazzo and Greek/Roman ruins of Tindaris. Also included in the tour was the church of the Black Madonna. Our tour guide, “Chiara” set a pleasant walking pace and politely and professionally answered all our questions. Her in-depth knowledge of these sites and of ancient Mediterranean history was impressive. Furthermore, our beautiful Messina resident and historian, seamlessly integrated aspects of modern Sicilian cultural with past traditional ethos. This synergy of information brought antiquity to life and gave meaning to the artifacts we observed. Also, hat-tip to our friendly driver, “Antonio” (Tony) who safely delivered us via the narrow streets of Milazzo and Tindaris. I highly recommend this tour for its comprehensive scholastic value and breathtaking scenery.
