Best of Messina Accessible Cruise Excursion

Best of Messina Accessible Cruise Excursion This full-day accessible cruise excursion of Messina features breathtaking views of the coast and wheelchair accessible transportation.

Begin your Best of Messina Accessible Cruise Excursion when your guide and driver pick you up from the cruise terminal in an accessible van with a wheelchair ramp. You will then drive to the city of Messina and learn about the knights and crusaders who traveled through this port on their way to the crusades in the 12th century.

Richard the Lionheart visited the 12th century Cathedral of Messina to worship on his way to the crusades. The cathedral is decorated with beautiful sculptures and mosaics, and the bell tower is home to one of the largest astronomical clocks in the world—and is truly stunning to see!

Next, see the bronze statues of the Church of Christ the King and view the entire city as well as the straight of Messina from one of the best scenic spots in the city! It’s also a great opportunity to take photos!

After touring the city of Messina, your accessible cruise excursion will continue to Tindari, or Tyndaris, which sits on a hill above the crystal waters of the Tyrrhenian coast. This Bronze Age (1500 BC) settlement became a Roman city in 254 BC and by 365 AD was one of Sicily’s most important Greek cities. Visit the Sanctuary of the Black Madonna as your guide explains the legends surrounding the mysterious appearance of the coastline shaped like the Virgin Mary (shown in the photo above)! Afterwards, your guide will take you to the ruins of a 4th century BC Greek amphitheatre—popular gathering point at one time.

At the end of your Best of Messina Accessible Cruise Excursion, your guide and driver will drop you back at the cruise terminal where you arrived.

Note: This accessible Sicily shore excursion is available from the ports Catania, Messina, or Taormina.
