Getting around
Arriving
Milazzo. On the Palermo to Messina line; the station sits 3 km from the port, with shuttle buses timed loosely to the Aeolian hydrofoils.
Tickets · Liberty Lines + shuttle
The port is the point: Liberty Lines fans out to all seven Aeolian islands from here.
Hydrofoil tickets online or at the port; summer boats sell out.
Show your ticket when boarding.
If the islands are the goal, Milazzo is your ferry terminal with a castle attached; the citadel deserves the spare afternoon.
On foot
- ·The walled citadel above the isthmus is Sicily's largest castle complex; the Capo Milazzo lighthouse walk ends at natural pools
Taxis and driving
- ·Port garages hold cars while you island hop; nothing drives onto the hydrofoils
Official sites: Liberty Lines hydrofoils
