About Scilla
Scilla packs a dramatic coastline into a compact town: the Castello Ruffo headland, the fishing quarter of Chianalea, and clear Tyrrhenian water that looks best from the deck of a boat. For a first visit, a guided boat trip removes the guesswork — the Scilla Boat Excursion Departing from Messina covers the coast in about three hours with a perfect 5.0 rating from travellers who have taken it. It is an easy, low-risk way to see the town and its sea caves before you explore on foot.

Frequently asked questions
Scilla's highlights — the Castello Ruffo promontory, the Chianalea waterfront and the sea caves — are best seen from the water, and a guided cruise handles navigation, timing and local commentary for you. Trips are short, typically around three hours, so you still have time to walk the town afterwards.
