As more and more people are discovering Sicily (thanks, in part, to HBO’s White Lotus series), the island is becoming a hotspot for travelers looking for a mix of luxury, adventure, history, and amazing food. Sure, you can find most of these things on the Italian mainland, but there’s something about Sicily that draws adventuresome souls to this remote corner of Italy.
Messina, located at the northeastern corner of the Island of Sicily, is one of the best cities to visit if you’re traveling through the region. It seamlessly blends history, culture, and that quintessentially Sicilian coastal beauty.
Its strategic location on the Strait of Messina makes it a gateway to both Sicily and mainland Italy. In fact, you can literally see the mainland from Messina. This makes the city and its port a hive of activity, as cruise ships, yachts, and sailboats frequently arrive in the city to enjoy its many offerings. There’s plenty to explore in Messina, so here’s a quick guide for where to start.
