Spadafora

This modest Sicilian town sits directly on the Tyrrhenian coast, northwest of Messina, with the mountains of the island's interior visible inland. The Aeolian Islands — a UNESCO World Heritage site — lie offshore in the wider region, and the coastal road connecting Spadafora to neighbouring seaside settlements makes it a practical base for exploring this stretch of northeastern Sicily.
