Groupon Guide to Villa San Giovanni

Welcome to Villa San Giovanni, a strategic town on the toe of the Italian peninsula, famous primarily for being the main ferry terminal for Sicily. Overlooking the Strait of Messina, it offers a unique view and the chance to witness the evocative Fata Morgana phenomenon, the optical illusion that makes the Sicilian shore seem incredibly close.

Despite being a transit point, the city is worth a stop. The Punta Pezzo neighborhood is the closest point to Sicily and offers exceptional views. Cannitello Beach, renowned for its clean waters, is also worth a stroll. In the center, you can admire some Art Nouveau buildings and the Garibaldi Monument, both of which survived the 1908 earthquake. Villa San Giovanni is the gateway to the splendid Costa Viola, rich in villages such as Scilla and Bagnara Calabra, and an excellent base for exploring local history amidst the sea, traditions, and ancient myths.
