Day Bus Tours of Messina, Sicily

Messina is Italy's 'misfortune' city. For almost 2,000 years, Messina has suffered one tragedy after another, the most recent being the earthquake of 1908, which killed more than 80,000 people. Following this horrific natural disaster--the worst in Italian modern history--Allied bombers flattened the city during the Sicily campaign. Today, Messina is a thriving, bustling port city of low-built buildings, small fishing and pleasure craft, and ferries crisscrossing the Strait. Don't expect extraordinary sights here as the city's numerous disasters have all but wiped out its historic buildings and monuments.
