We are currently offering 5 excursions in Messina
Welcome to Messina, the third largest island on the island of Sicily. Founded by Greek colonists in the 8th century BCE, this lovely city has been through it all. Conquests, earthquakes, tsunamis, and even the Black Plague didn't stop these people. With each event, they rebuilt and restored their city and there are many wonderful examples of architecture merging to create quite a picturesque city. Messina is located on hilly land that overlooks the port and is close enough to see the Italian mainland. Much of the population speaks Greek, but bilingual guides are always available through excursions to help your visit be more pleasant.
