My first dream was to live and work in Sicily!
And now, against all odds, I stand on the cobblestone streets of Messina, the first chapter of my Sicilian adventure. Prepare to embark on an unforgettable journey through its streets, where history and flavors merge into an intoxicating symphony. 10 places to visit, 3 places to eat and 2 to drink in Messina, Sicily. Everything on a budget!
Messina, a coastal city in Sicily, Italy, boasts a rich history spanning millennia. Founded by Greeks, it flourished under Roman rule. Its strategic location made it a Mediterranean trading hub. Throughout centuries, it experienced Byzantine, Arab, and Norman conquests. A catastrophic earthquake and tsunami struck in 1908, reshaping its landscape. Messina played a role in World War II, and post-war reconstruction transformed it into a modern city while preserving ancient remnants. Today, it stands as a blend of ancient charm and contemporary life, reflecting its enduring resilience through the ups and downs of time.
