The romantic fishing village of San Giorgio lies on the Tyrrhenian coast, about 80 km west of Messina. Its original charm has hardly changed. The village is famous for its turquoise coloured sea and its coast that overlooks Lipari and Vulcano (Aeolian Islands) which fiery glow can be seen at night. In the high season there are events for tourists every evening in San Giorgio or in Gioiosa Marea. The latter has many small shops, restaurants, pizzerias, churches and palaces. The Piazza is a popular meeting point for young and old people in the evening. Furthermore a new swimming pool is now open in a recreation- and health centre with different gym and fitness rooms. San Giorgio is situated near Capo Calavà and Milazzo. It is an ideal starting point to visit for example the Roman-Greek city of Tindari (20 km) with its archaeological excavation (Greek-Roman Theatre, basilica, Roman Villa).
