Messina is the third-largest city on the island of Sicily, and it displays Sicilian culture and influence like no other city nearby. While on your Messina cruise, you'll see that Sicily contains a magic and mystery unlike any other destination in Italy. Both cosmopolitan and rugged, island life here offers a fascinating combination of fishing communities, tiny towns, and beachy resorts. Messina, Taormina, and the surrounding areas on the northeast corner of the island are particularly mesmerizing, whether you're off sailing the picturesque Strait of Messina or climbing the summit of Monte Scuderi
In Messina, there are quite a few experiences that other destinations can't offer, like tasting an authentic Sicilian cannoli or enjoying Italian coffee bar culture. You could spend an entire day simply touring the historic churches and piazzas that give the city so much local color, like the mythology-rich Fountain of Neptune or the nearly thousand-year-old Cathedral of Messina. Go sailing or scuba diving in the Ionian Sea while you're here, or simply sit at a trattoria and people watch over a delicious meal. Messina is meant to be truly enjoyed, not hurried through.
