Description
Begin your Sicilian adventure with a warm welcome as you disembark from your ship. Meet your tour leader directly at the port and let yourself be guided on a pleasant stroll through the lively streets of Messina, arriving at a typical restaurant in the vibrant historic center.
Don your apron and get ready to get your hands dirty. Under the expert eye of a local chef, discover the secrets of perfect dough, the selection of top-quality ingredients, and the tricks of perfect cooking. Satisfy your curiosity and learn techniques you can replicate at home to impress friends and family.
At noon sharp, take a short break for an unmissable appointment. Move to the majestic Piazza del Duomo to witness the spectacle of the Campanile: the largest and most complex astronomical and mechanical clock in the world comes to life with sounds and moving golden figures. It's a moving moment that captures the soul and devotion of the city.
After the show, return to the restaurant where your creation will be ready and piping hot. Bite into a pizza made with your own hands, accompanied by the authentic flavors of the region.
But a lunch in Sicily isn't complete without the king of pastry: the cannolo. Cross the street to enter a historic artisanal shop. Choose between the classic ricotta cannolo, velvety and incredibly sweet, or the chocolate version for those with a sweet tooth.
Before returning, step back in time by visiting the Church of the Catalans: a Byzantine-Norman architectural jewel that miraculously survived the 1908 earthquake. Notice how it sits lower than the current street, a silent testimony to ancient Messina.
Conclude the experience with a relaxing stroll towards the port. Take some photos or make last-minute purchases, taking home the flavor and warmth of a Messina experienced like a true 'local.'
