  • 5Good tour of Messina

    We booked the 10:30 tour. We were on a cruise ship. Pick up was at the port inside security. The only thing was that we went out early to Messina and had to walk back to the ship thru a separate entrance to renter the pick up point. Otherwise pick up was easy. The tour walked along the shoreline, up into town to a family owned Puppet museum and back to the Duomo where we saw the clock go off at noon. It ended at a sweet shop where you could have a cannoli or granita. Both were delicious. The pace was good. Julia, the guide, was excellent. Knowledgeable and informative. She recommended a lunch spot close to the port which was very good. She also gave us directions to the supermarket. It was a good day!

About Messina

Messina, in north-east Sicily, is a port city on the Strait of Messina, facing Calabria across a narrow stretch of fast-flowing water.

Messina occupies the north-east tip of Sicily, where the strait is only a few kilometres wide and ferries cross constantly to the Italian mainland. An earthquake and tsunami in December 1908 destroyed most of the city, so its centre was rebuilt with wide streets and low buildings. The cathedral, rebuilt after the earthquake and again after wartime damage, has a bell tower with a large astronomical clock whose mechanical figures move at noon.

Top-ranked sights in Messina: Fountain of Neptune (Fontana di Nettuno), Bell Tower and Astronomical Clock (Orologio Astronomico), Church of the Santissima Annunziata dei Catalani (Chiesa della Santissima Annunziata dei Catalani).
