    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.

    Thank you for doing a self walking tour from the port, very informative. I enjoyed that.

      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.

    Thank you so much for this walking tour Janet & Gareth. Very informative . Messina is one of our ports of call in our October 2024 cruise & we just want to walk around & not do an excursion , so this is very helpful. I went ahead & subscribed to you ‘cuz I want to watch your other videos too.

    The Cathedral and the view of the strait from Cristo Re in particular are amazing. I hope you enjoyed your day (despite the noticeable flaws of the city). Greetings from Messina!

      We love Messina! We like that you are in town as soon as you walk off the ship. We also love the bakery. Thank you for your comments and we hope you subscribe to our channel. Ciao!

    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.

    This is where my ancestors are from. Looks old and rundown. I’m grateful they came to America.

    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

    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  11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      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.
