Testimonials

Hi Michele! I want you to know that all of us on the tour think highly of Salvo, you and Sicily TravelNet. I will be certain to recommend your tours to other cruisers on a website for cruisers that I visit a lot.

Palazzo Penso

We'll start our tour in the centre of Messina and its ancient Jewish quarter. Here, we visit the Norman Cathedral- with its latin iscription against the Jewish city- community and the beautiful Palazzo Penso- Jewish family heritage. Then, we go to the Regional Archeological Museum that, amongst its artistic treasures, has a Hebrew synagogal inscription of unestimated linguistic value.
After the tour of Messina, we will drive south up to the rocky city of Taormina. Here, you'll visit the most impressive monument of the city: the Greco-Roman Theatre. It has the finest site of any theatre in the world and one of the most striking monuments of antiquity. In the antiquarium, we'll see Greek inscriptions demonstrating the Jewish presence in the city since the classic age. Later, walk to the site of the Jewish quarter and the mediaeval convent of S. Domenico.
