Milazzo

A Sicilian harbour town crowned by a mighty castle and the gateway to the Aeolian Islands.

Destination story

A place with its own rhythm.

Milazzo lies on a narrow peninsula on Sicily’s northern coast. Its historic castle, one of the largest in Sicily, overlooks the town, while the Capo Milazzo headland offers clear water and wide views. From the busy harbour, ferries and hydrofoils sail to the volcanic Aeolian Islands.

For WOFA participants, Milazzo combines a warm Sicilian welcome with sea, history and island adventures. Groups can perform in a lively seaside town and enjoy the cuisine and traditions of eastern Sicily.
