Messina Peloritani Mountains

Messina, Sicily

Shopping time included

by coach & on foot

Your experience starts with a drive through the beautiful Sicilian countryside to a Nature Reserve located on the Peloritani Mountains.

Along the way you will get to take in the scenery from your coach as you absorb the breathtaking views of Milazzo, the Aeolian Islands, the Messina coastline and its strait. You will have the opportunity of a photo stop, at ‘Pizzo Chiarino’ a very well-known viewpoint along these routes.

The Nature Reserve features a wide variety of plants and animals and stretches over a vast area.

You will then reach the ‘Quattro strade’ where you will stop at Don Minico’s roadhouse for refreshments and try the famous Pagnotta alla Disgraziata. This traditional Sicilian union of local foods was invented in the 1950’s by the hand of Don Minico himself, consisting of freshly baked bread stuffed with ‘zero miles’ produce, and frequently praised by locals and visitors alike.

Following your refreshment stop you will reboard your coach and return back to the ship.
