About Messina

Messina is a city and port in extreme northeastern Sicily, Italy. Messina is on the lower slopes of the Peloritani Mountains, on the Strait of Messina opposite Reggio di Calabria.

Messina is the gateway to Sicily, it can be easily explored on foot. On a beautiful sunny day, you can see the coast of Calabria so close you could almost touch it. The Greeks used to call this corner of land Zancle “sickle”. And if you’re wondering why this name, just take a look at its natural harbour.
