Messina, the "Città dello Stretto" is the natural landing place for tourists who disembark in Sicily from the rest of the Peninsula. The city, in fact, constitutes the privileged bridge between the island and the rest of the continent. The original name of Messina is that of "Zancle" which means "sickle", and refers to the shape of the natural port of the city (and even today a nearby town is called Scaletta Zanclea, that is "of Messina"). The city changed its name in 490 BC when the condottieri Anàssila of Messene, decides to rename it with the name of the place from which it came. Later it became Messana with the Romans, Msna with the Arabs and finally the current name. Messina, the "door of Sicily", is appreciated in Italy also for the marvelous natural and historical beauties that it preserves in its territory. Like the Duomo of Messina, "Norman jewel", which it preserves at its also a wonderful "surprise" inside: the biggest mechanical clock in the world. Every day since 1933, in fact, at noon and midnight, the clock comes to life by moving the various mechanisms that make it and that create a unique "show" that certainly deserves to be appreciated live. Among the recommended places to visit also the "Sacrario di Cristo Re", from which you can witness a breathtaking view that embraces the whole city, from the sea, to the hills, to the urban beauties. For lovers of entertainment and culture, the city of Messina is also home to a prestigious theater, the Vittorio Emanuele II, and the historic city museum.

Why book a transfer

There are many good reasons to book a transfer:

• It costs less than a taxi and you avoid queues to get one. Or the surprise of not being available.
• It often happens that you have to take a plane early in the morning or land at times when it is difficult (or impossible) to find alternatives.
• For families, or large groups of people, it could even be cheaper than public transport.
• For the convenience of finding a trusted person waiting for you at the airport (with a sign with your name) and takes you to your destination safely and courteously.
• Avoid renting a car at the airport just to reach your destination. Without having to drive and with the danger of incurring accidents or fines because you do not know the road.
• For those with difficulty walking or wheelchair users.
