At the time of your choice, we'll meet you on Via I Settembre. From here, we'll travel to the city of Tindari, enjoying views of the Tyrrhenian Sea and the Aeolian Islands.

After about an hour's drive, we'll reach Tindari. Our first stop will be a viewpoint to admire the scenery of the Nebrodi Mountains and take photos.

Next, we'll visit the Sanctuary of Tindari, home to the Black Madonna, carved in Constantinople over ten centuries ago. This sacred image attracts many pilgrims from Sicily.

After exploring the temple, the guide will lead us to the archaeological ruins of Tindari, featuring a well-preserved Greek theater, ancient walls, Roman mosaics, and a 4th century B.C. basilica. We will discuss the foundation of the ancient city of Tyndaris.

We will then travel an hour to Milazzo. Upon arrival, we'll explore the historic center with its churches and colorful houses, and visit the Castello di Milazzo, a fortress remade by Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, Arabs, and Normans.
