This was very interesting. Just be aware if you have any kind of breathing problems because if the volcano is spewing smoke and ash you will be breathing it in. I was glad I did not have my contacts in the day we went as ash was falling on us. Read Less

Both towns lovely great Sicilian guide and driver, perfect and only $100 for 2 people for 6 hours, smaller bus used than that of cruise ship tour too! Read Less

Took a taxi for 25E to town each way and did it on our own and had as much time as we wanted. Oceania offers it as a on your own for only 2 hours and charges $100 pp. 2 hours is not enough time to enjoy this little town and cafes. Read Less

Toured area by taxi. Medina was a highlight..enjoyed visiting the Greco Roman stadium and had excellent pizza at a street cafe. Read Less

Short walk to city center. Watch out for pushy hawkers. Read Less

We docked in Messina at 11am, so it was kind of a short day. After visiting the clock tower to see what medieval animatronics look like (it does its thing at noon each day), we walked to the train station and caught a train to Taormina (4E each). We then took a bus (2E each) from the train station up to Taormina. It is a lovely hillside town, with great views of the coast and picturesque streets. Not much to do there, though, besides shopping and taking pictures. We did have a nice lunch before catching a bus and a train back to Messina. Read Less

Very nice open bus ride very accessible from the port. 2 minutes walk and you are in the market square. Love Messina. Read Less

There's some amazing street food in Messina! We particularly enjoyed La Tasteria Gourmet. Read Less
