Cruising in the Strait of Messina
The Ports are located near the heart of the cities, and therefore they give tourists the chance to reach on foot the most remarkable places from historical and cultural points of view. In addition the ports are very close to the main streets of the cities, which are a few meters away from the landing area. The most historically valuable monuments are located in the ports area. Furthermore, the cruise wharfs are directly connected to railway and bus stations, from which it is possible to reach Catania and Reggio Calabria airports as well as the most impressive tourist places.
