• Capo di Milazzo - Your private guide and driver will pick you up and you will start a journey to the stunning Capo di Milazzo. This location is situated above the city of Milazzo, one of the major ports. After passing through the city, the road winds up a serpentine path to a height of 260 meters above sea level, a place of evocative beauty where history, myths, and legends blend with a landscape of enchanting charm. An explosion of colors, from the green of the vegetation to the blue of the sea. Enjoy your walking tour through the breathtaking Sicilian scenery: a panorama that allows the gaze to take in the spectacle of the Aeolian Islands, the Sicilian coast, and even Mount Etna. The Sanctuary of S. Antonino da Padova evokes emotions, carved into the rock where the Saint is said to have taken refuge after a cloudburst. Today, it is a true “natural” church. Also visit the fascinating Bay of Tono, a splendid beach where the ancient tonnara once stood. Nearby is the famous Cave of Polyphemus, tied to the Homeric myth of the Odyssey.

• Piscina di Venere - Walking through a magical place surrounded by incredible nature, a sea of olive trees and prickly pear trees, listening to the surf and the calls of seagulls, you will reach the lagoon enclosed by rocks - Piscina di Venere, or Pool of Venus - a sea pond linked to the legend of the goddess of love. It is one of the most beautiful views in northeastern Sicily, a turquoise-colored treasure chest of landscapes and cliffs overlooking the sea. The promontory of Capo Milazzo contains naturalistic wonders of rare beauty, a paradise for snorkeling and diving enthusiasts. You can bring a swimsuit and take a dip here in the summertime. After this guided tour, you will visit a typical Sicilian farm for lunch, where you will sample local food and wine.

• Tindari - Your next stop will be Tindari, an ancient city founded in 396 BC by Dionysus of Syracuse. The city was named in honor of Tyndarius, the ruler of Sparta. Destroyed by a landslide and two earthquakes, Tindari was rediscovered during archaeological excavations in 1838. Walk through this amazing historical site, enjoy unforgettable nature, and learn many interesting facts from your private guide.

• Sito archeologico di Tindari (Patti, Me) - Take your time to enjoy a wonderful view of the Tyrrhenian Sea, the Aeolian Islands, and the small Marinello lakes in the distance. Visit a Greek amphitheater that was rebuilt during the era of Ancient Rome. Roman mosaics, sculptures, and ceramics were discovered here and are now on display in the local museum. Additionally, the ruins of the city walls and the temple of the so-called Black Madonna are well preserved.

• Sanctuary of the Madonna di Tindari - Continue your private tour with a visit to the temple of the Black Madonna, which houses a statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary carved from cedar and colored black. The statue likely arrived during the time of iconoclasm, a political and religious movement in the first half of the 8th century. The temple was destroyed by Algerian pirates in 1544 and rebuilt several decades later. From the temple’s terrace, you can see the foot of the cape where the Marinello lakes, known as the “dry sea,” lie. These lakes are a curious sandy formation with several small reservoirs in the center.
