Overview

Come and discover the charming fishermen's district of Torre Faro, on the picturesque coast of the Strait of Messina, and the Cape Peloro, marked by its monumental iron tower, between the two seas: the Ionian and the Tyrrhenian!

We will start our walking tour at Lago Piccolo, the smallest of the two Ganzirri lakes, a natural reserve, in a stunning scenery, famous for its rich ecosystem and marine biodiversity.

We will then see the historic lighthouse that gives the district its name and admire the breathtaking view from Cape Peloro's beach.

I will also show you the 'British tower', part of the ancient fortifications of Messina.

The tour includes a tasting of the delicious granita and brioche: a fresh, sweet Sicilian specialty, perfect for the summer!

I will tell you the story of this famous Sicilian dessert!

On hot days, it is strongly recommended to wear a hat, apply sunblock, and carry a bottle of water with you.

Due to sometimes uneven or rough ground or sand, the tour is not suitable for people with reduced mobility or those in wheelchairs.
