Messina Sicily | Mediterranean Cruise Port & Travel Guide
Frequently Asked Questions
Right in the heart of the city: the quay almost touches the centre, and ten minutes' walk reaches piazza del Duomo. A tram runs along the seafront to spare the distances.
The channel of currents between Sicily and the mainland, which the ancients peopled with monsters: Charybdis swallowed ships, Scylla devoured sailors. High-gantry feluccas still hunt swordfish here in summer, silhouettes found nowhere else in the world.
Because it had to rebuild twice in a single generation: the 1908 earthquake, one of the deadliest in European history, then the bombing of 1943. Its wide, low avenues tell that caution.
A clock installed in 1933 in the cathedral bell tower by the Ungerer workshops of Strasbourg, one of the most complex in the world. Every day at noon, a roaring lion, a wing-beating cockerel and bronze processions come to life for several minutes.
Build the morning around noon: piazza del Duomo, the Orion fountain carved in the sixteenth century, then the astronomical clock at noon sharp, coffee granita and warm brioche in hand. Then the regional museum and its two Caravaggios.
Two major Caravaggio canvases, the Raising of Lazarus and the Adoration of the Shepherds, painted during his stay in 1608 and 1609, along with works by Antonello da Messina. The museum stays remarkably peaceful: the crowds head for Taormina.
Yes, about an hour by road. The volcano itself can be approached across its black slopes and extinct craters on a full-day excursion. Independent travellers should watch the return timing: the strait road is busy in summer.
The Cristo Re sanctuary, up on the heights, gives anyone willing to climb for half an hour the best balcony over the channel. Below, the port's gilded Madonnina blesses the ships as it has for a century.
Coffee granita topped with cream and a warm brioche, as Sicilian breakfast demands. Swordfish caught in the neighbouring strait then appears on every trattoria menu in the centre.
The euro and Italian, with Sicilian. English is spoken near the cathedral and at the museum, less in neighbourhood shops. Keep cash for the historic cafes and taxis to Taormina.
