Information about Messina

Located near the northeast corner of Sicily the city’s main resources are its commercial and military shipyards. Wine production, cultivating lemons, oranges, mandarin oranges and olives are a large part of the agriculture. The city is a Roman Catholic Archdiocese and Archimandrite seat since 1548.

Put on your walking shoes and head to the Torre Faro. It’s a former electricity pylon over Messina Strait. Today it’s an observation tower but you have to walk up 1250 steps to get to it! But once your there the amazing view is worth it. Also visit Novara di Sicilia, a medieval town in the mountains on the northern side of Mt. Etna. The people are friendly and again the views are amazing.

The Hilton Hotel Portarosa Messina offers a private beach, spa, windsurfing and sailing classes. All this just two steps from the Sicilian Sea!  The Grand Avalon Sikani Resort & Residence Sicily offers infinity swimming pool, sea-view solarium, running center and banquet facilities.
