Creator's Key Takeaways
massina Sicily is one of those elegant Cruise ports where for me less was more I didn't have to do a big tour to have a great time
I'm a do-it-yourself guy but to do these on your own requires a time commitment and Reliance on their public transportation which is shall we say loose when it comes to timeliness
absolutely lovely walking lots of stairs of course but also amazing fountains beautiful buildings with PD more than welcome and lovely views
this Cathedral is famous for having the world world's largest and most complex astronomical Clark which puts on a grand show with moving Saints and animals all to music
