About Messina

Messina sits on the Strait of Messina, where the Ionian and Tyrrhenian meet, and its harbour is the natural launch point for boat trips along Sicily's north-east coast. From here you can sail to the sea caves and clear water around Isola Bella, or head across the strait toward Scilla and Capo Peloro on a Messina Cruise Excursion: Scilla & Capo Peloro Boat Experience. For something more exclusive, the Taormina Private Boat Tour from Messina: Exclusive Cruise Experience pairs a private vessel with the dramatic coastline below Taormina.

Frequently asked questions

Messina sits directly on the Strait of Messina, so cruises here combine two seas, strong currents and views of both the Sicilian and Calabrian coasts. Many trips run north toward Taormina, Isola Bella and the Giardini Naxos grottos, while others cross to Scilla and Capo Peloro.
