DESTINATION
Where culture meets the sea
The “Ports of the Strait” refers to a geographical area encompassing the Sicilian ports of Messina and Milazzo, as well as the Calabrian port of Reggio Calabria. This is where the “Strait” lies, a crucial maritime corridor connecting the Eastern and Western Mediterranean, steeped in ancient legends and mythology.
- Strong focus on cruise tourism
- Home to some of the most picturesque tourist destinations in Sicily and Calabria
- Frequent stops for major cruise lines
- Ports located in the city center
- Direct connections to airports (Catania and Reggio Calabria), train stations, and bus services
Cruise Ports
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.
