Messina sits at the northeast tip of Sicily, across the 3-kilometre-wide Strait of Messina from the mainland Italian region of Calabria — the narrowest crossing between the island and the mainland and a key shipping route between the Tyrrhenian and Ionian seas. The city was almost completely flattened by a 7.1 earthquake and tsunami in 1908 (one of the deadliest in European history, 80,000 dead) and rebuilt in a modernist grid pattern. The harbour is the working ferry-and-cargo port for the Sicily-Calabria connection, with the visiting yacht moorings in the inner basin behind a 16th-century Spanish-era breakwater. Day-sail routes south reach Taormina (Greek theatre with Mount Etna backdrop) in 90 minutes; north routes reach the Aeolian Islands in 4 hours. Messina is 5 hours from Catania south by sail. Season runs April through October.
