Ferry message
The main ports of Sicily island are located in cities such as Messina, Palermo, Catania and Trapani. Messina is worth mentioning it separately: the mainland part of the country is in some five kilometers from here. For this reason, the frequency of ferry flights is very high - the transport is sent once every thirty minutes.
Through the Messinsky Strait there are such ferries:
