Who would like to do some shopping, can find many boutiques with elegant clothes (made in Italy) on the main Corso. Or just enjoy a plate of pasta with seafood in one of the many restaurants and for dessert a delicious Cannoli with ricotta creme. Finally the stunning view over the eastern Sicilian coast and the Mediterranean will take your breath away and you will fall in love with Sicily forever.

A tip for who likes to explore an off-track route and doesn’t mind walking up many stairs. Look for the signs that indicate the long staircase in the middle of the rocky nature. They will take you to Maria della Rocca, a graceful chapel built and carved in the rocky wall.

After your free visit of 3 hours the driver will wait for you at the meeting point and he will drive you back safely to the port of Messina, you will be back in time for the departure of your ship.
