Messina is a port city in northeastern Sicily, separated from mainland Italy by the Strait of Messina. It is known for the Norman Cathedral of Messina, characterized by a Gothic portal, 15th century windows and an astronomical clock on the bell tower. Nearby are marble fountains decorated with mythological figures, such as the Fountain of Orion, with its carved inscriptions, and the Fountain of Neptune, surmounted by a statue of the god of the sea.

Ancient maritime republic gives its name to the homonymous stretch of the peninsula on which it stands, the Amalfi coast.
Its foundation is traced back to the Romans (its coat of arms bears the inscription Descendit ex patribus romanorum), even if, for the toponymic Giovanni Alessio it could be even earlier, to the Aegean navigators in an epoch prior to Magna Graecia. From the ninth century it became the first Italian maritime republic, thanks to its inaccessible position on the Amalfi cliff and entered into competition with Pisa, Venice and Genoa.

Sorrento: observing the geographical map from Campania, an offshoot of territory immediately catches the eye that defines both the lower limit of the Gulf of Naples and takes the name of Sorrento Peninsula and the upper limit of the Gulf of Salerno and takes the name of Costiera Amalfi. The sea that laps the Sorrentine territory has always inspired the ancients who had located the mythical land of the sirens right between the beaches and hidden coves of this coast. Crystal clear waters and outcropping rocks provide an ideal habitat for many marine creatures and are a real treat for divers.

The delicate semicircle of pink and white houses that will welcome you from the port, together with the profile of the island, offer a spectacle that is difficult to describe in words, a moving beauty for the harmony of each individual element. It is a wonderful island, the largest and most touristic of the Pontine Islands. It is also one of the most beautiful villages in the Province of Latina and Lazio, as well as a place with an infinity of things to see.

After breakfast, disembarkation and end of the cruise.
