Sicily’s port at the Strait of Messina is a short trip south from the most popular destinations in Italy, making Sicily the perfect weekend getaway. Many ships leave those ports daily en route to the island. When travelers arrive, they’ll find several cozy hotels on the coast. Fred Rodio, a traveler who began his trip to Sicily by enjoying a beautiful sunrise, comments, “I wasn’t sure what to expect in Sicily, but from the first morning there, I knew that I would not be disappointed.”
