    I enjoy how you just find your way around and aren't pretentious about knowing everything but research it afterwards.

    Awesome REAL tour of Messina. Thank you so much. I'm from Siracusa and my wife's family came from Messina. Great tour...I really enjoyed seeing the apartment buildings where people live.

      It's one of our favorite ports because you walk off the ship and your in town (not to mention the bakery). Thanks for your comments and we hope you subscribe to our channel.

    Next time you go to Messina. Make sure to be outside the cathedral (Duomo) at least 5 minutes before 12pm. Every day At 12pm exactly the bells from the 'Campanile' will go off reproducing a little show. It is really unique, this happens just in two cities in all of Europe.

    I am having trouble finding out which port and ferry to depart Calabria. I would like to arrive where you did, walk a bit, and get a taxi to Taormina. Not sure if we should depart Calabria at RC or VSG port , and Caronte or Blue Jet?

    • @PortMonkeys
      @PortMonkeys  Рік тому

      We were on a cruise ship that stopped at Terminal Crociere. It is a 20 minute walk from the Caronte & Tourist dock. We can’t help you with the other details. Thank you for your comments and thank you for subscribing to our channel.

    He could've taken a shorter route by going up to Piazza Basico where the Falconieri Fountain is located. And from there it's a fairly short walk up to the Cristo Re sanctuary

      Glad you enjoyed it. We always say Messina as one of our favorite ports is the ship docks right in town. No shuttle buses. Also, there is a nice bakery, just a block from the ship that makes the best cannolis in the world. Thank you for your comments and thank you for subscribing to our channel.
