Messina Italy was one of our stops on a tour of European countries with cruiseline Celebrity Accent.
For a day trip, we enjoyed a tour of Messina.
Messina is a harbor city in northeast Sicily, separated from mainland Italy by the Strait of Messina. It’s known for the Norman Messina Cathedral, with its Gothic portal, 15th-century windows and an astronomical clock on the bell tower. Nearby are marble fountains decorated with mythological figures, like the Fontana di Orione, with its carved inscriptions, and the Neptune Fountain, topped by a statue of the sea god.
Cruise port tours from Messina offer a variety of excursions to popular nearby destinations like Taormina, Mount Etna, and Savoca. You can choose from private or shared options, with transportation typically provided by minivan or bus. Many excursions are designed to fit within the typical timeframe of a cruise ship stop.
We enjoyed Messina Highlights Walking Tour: A guided walk through the city to see historical buildings like the Cathedral, the Astronomical Clock, and the Church of the Catalans.
It was $15 euros per person.
Make sure you take a combination of funds. Some vendors do not accept AMEX.
