Things to do Private Tour in Messina with Delicious Granita Tasting

Messina, a gateway on the Strait, was remodelled many times during its history. It's a city that fuses a unique character, modelled by the different cultures and traditions, with modernity. Founded by the Greeks in the 8th century BC, the city was entirely destroyed by an earthquake in 1908. Nowadays, this city shines because of its elegant, eclectic style and breathtaking views. From the Town Hall square, we will reach the prestigious Catalans Church, the Royal Chapel of the Spanish kings in Sicily. We will then walk towards the Cathedral and its sophisticated bell tower. We will point at the best view in Messina: the Church of Montalto and the Sanctuary of Cristo Re from the Cathedral's square. We will then move on to the Vittorio Emanuele Gallery, and the refined Post Office and Telegraph Palace. We will end the tour with a tasting of the delicious Sicilian granita and brioche: fresh and perfect for the summer! And I will tell you the story of this famous Sicilian sweet specialty!
