The low-cost airlines still fly in Italy so I fly today with Volotea from Pescara to Catania for just 19 euro.
In Catania airport in front of the terminal there are 3 ticket kiosks for bus companies – there was the direct bus to Messina at 1.10 pm for 9,30 euro – I took it immediately!
The road goes along the coast – through many tunnels, but the weather is hazy… It was nicer , when I was here for the first time – in the 70-ties!
Messina… From the unimpressive railway station I took a long walk to my B&B passing the nice Cathedral Square (see cathedral on the picture) with the impressive clock on the tower – full of gold-platted fugures. Then there were coastal promenade withe the monument dedicated to Russian Seamen (!) and nice Neptune’s Fouintain (but without the water) 🙂
Sorry, my B&B in Messina was poor – without working a/c (mosquitos arrived through the open window) without internet. It happen…
