One of the
most important and ancient towns in the province of Messina,
it lies at the base of a long narrow peninsula that extends
towards the Eolian Islands. It was founded by the Greeks
of Zancle (Messina) in 716 B.C. and was called Mylae. Despite
the foreign dominations that followed, it always remained
a city of primary importance. Today it is the home of some
interesting archaeological ruins and ancient buildings,
including the imposing castle overlooking the town. Milazzo
is divided into two parts: the medieval village, which is
the higher and more picturesque area, and the modern centre
which is particularly active due to its port that is the
main link between the Eolian Islands and Sicily.

Among Sicily's
smaller islands, the Eolian Archipelago distinguishes itself
for the extraordinary and unique characteristics of each
of the seven islands, all of which are of volcanic origin.
Lipari, the most important island of the archipelago, is
a concentration of natural beauty and cultural elements,
settled there through the centuries, that can be rediscovered
in the traditions and rhythms of the Eolian lifestyle.
Visitors can enjoy the island's unspoilt nature, sandy beaches,
white as snow pumice mountains and crystal clear sea. The
island's Castle, which houses one of the most important
museums of the Mediterranean, offers visitors a glance at
its ancient history. Attending an Italian Language and Culture
Course in the Eolian Islands will allow you to fully immerse
yourself into the culture, colours and flavours of the Mediterranean,
making your study holiday a unique one.
