The city of Messina and its port have a very long history that has influenced its economic and commercial development, and it is located in the north-eastern part of Sicily.
The city overlooks the harbor, which in ancient times was called Zancle because of its sickle shape. It is one of the most important ports in the region and is also used as a cruise port.
The structure of the port is divided into many piers, where private boats, cruises, and passenger ships dock every day of the year. Over the years, the port has continued to grow and become one of the leading ports in the whole of Sicily to visit.
Also known as the “gateway” to Sicily, the port welcomes millions of tourists from all over the world every year and has become one of the most significant maritime, commercial and tourist ports in the Mediterranean.
