MESSINA Port of Call in Sicily - Navigator of the Seas arrival (Monday, October 7th 2013)
Monday morning, by 9AM or so, we went up to the Navigator of the Seas Pool deck to see the arrival in our first port of Call: MESSINA, Italy (aka the DOOR of Sicily)!
This arrival can also be seen briefly, live here (cruising along the Coast of Sicily):
Entering the Strait of Messina was a joy to see and the weather was fantastic too
(Stretto di Messina in Italian language, Strittu di Missina in Sicilian is the narrow passage between the eastern tip of Sicily and the southern tip of Calabria in the south of Italy).
We were in the waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea with the Town of Messina in one side (the one with the Bell Tower and the other 2 cruise ships: Azura and Seabourn Legend) and Reggio Calabria on the other side (the area far away... behind the golden statue)!
Seen in this slideshow is the Golden statue of La Madonnina del Porto - Protector of the city of Messina (located at its port entrance).
Been to Messina and Taormina few years ago (during another Mediterranean cruise), so this time we were planning on crossing over to explore the beautiful area called Reggio Calabria!
Overall, the town of Messina is not too attractive to tourists: lots of abandoned-like areas, lots of graffiti... So most of the visitors take a private tour (or the train) to visit the close by, beautiful Taormina.
However, there are few highlights that should not be missed in Messina:
1). The DUOMO Square with its splendid Norman Cathedral (built in 1150) and the imposing BELL TOWER (constructed in 1900, rising to the left of the Duomo's façade; it is hosting the World's largest astronomical clock).
Every side of the square tower is decorated with a gleaming clock face. Other decorative dials indicate the signs of the zodiac and the annual calendar with golden mechanical figures which move at the striking of midday.
IF possible, stop by to listen to the MUSIC when the clock strikes at 12noon (each day, on the dot)!
*** Close to the Duomo Square is the pale marble Fontana di Orione (1553); it depicts a lounging Orion (the mythical founder of Messina). This famous fountain is adorned by various figures representing the Rivers Tiber, Nile, Ebro and Camaro.
2). Pasticceria IRRERA 1910 located at Piazza Cairoli 12 (98123 Messina, Italy) - delicious pastries and coffee! Mmmmm, soooo good!
3). The shops around the above mentioned fabulous Pastry shop and around Piazza Cairoli in general (i.e. for clothing, accessories, especially jewelry, belts and handbags).

Sicily Tour
A tour of Sicily
Recent trip to Italy, Highlights.
I recently went on a trip to Italy with my family, so I thought I might share a few highlights of my trip. Really just a few scenes of some of the places we visited, including Sicily, Messina, Gole Alcantara, Tindari, Taomina, Rome, Colosseum, Saint Peter's, Florence, Venice, and more. If you ever get the chance to visit Italy, you will not be disappointed by it's beauty and all there is to see, do, and of coarse eat. In the video are co-ordinates of each place where the short video clips were taken, just in case you want to find them on a map.
