Please read on for some more data approximately Messina and Sicily.

Messina lies on the northeastern tip of Sicily, an obvious departing point for your exploration of the island.

Settlements here date back to as early as 800 BC, although it was Greek settlers who gave it the recognisable name of Messene approximately 300 years later. Since then, like the relaxation of Sicily, the port features fallen to (and recovered from) invasions by numerous civilisations from the Romans to the Goths, Arabs and Normans. All of these ‘visitors’ have left their mark, and there are a lot of remains and sites of interest which have survived occupations and numerous devastating earthquakes (most newly in 1908).

From Messina you are able to take boat trips along the beach, to the Sicilian islands or to the Italian continental. Travel inland is slightly more difficult, but this features its own reward: the island features a prosperity of well-preserved antique remains, linguistic islands, and several sceneries including wetlands, woodland, hills and the volcanic district around Etna - it's hard to imagine they would have survived whether the inland had been more available in the past.

With a wealthy public scene of festivals and pageants, exciting landscape, and delightful beaches, this is a locality which promises a generous break in Italy. Don't hesitate to find further details on our hotel in Sicily.
