Swordfish Sicily: the swordfish is one of the main ingredients of typical dishes of Sicily. In the Strait of Messina, we can talk about a real hunt, as the fish is literally chased by the typical motorboat called “spadara”. A swordfish can reach a weight of more than 800 pounds.
Ganzirri Lake: Ganzirri Lake is one of the two lagoons of the Cape Peloro area. The mariner village holds a strong fishing tradition concerning the growing of mussels and clams. The houses of fishermen stay between the lake and the sea. Different channels connect the lake to the sea and guarantee the water changes every 6 hours following the tide.
The boat will always sail no more than half a mile away from the coast.

This tour cancelled on us one day before. As we were on a cruise there was no time to find another adventure. Cancelling tours should not be an option due to low numbers. Use a smaller bus/car

We went with Cecelia, and like the other reviewers mentioned, she was top notch.
It is an easy pick up from the cruise terminal. We hopped onto the van and went to the winery. It was so peaceful. This is not your regular wine tasting. This is a 3 course meal with with wine pairings. My favorite was the white, but they were all good. The caper pate was so good we took it home.
The beach was a little rocky for my tender feet. The view of the water and the beach loungers made it worthwhile.
What I have learned as I have traveled is that the people of the area make it or break it for me. Cecelia and the whole Discover Messina team made it a fabulous day.

We had an excellent time on our trip. Our tour guide Cecilia was infinitely knowledgeable about the history and lore of her island. She was able to answer just about every question we threw at her. She also had great recommendations for food around the island. The pictures posted do not do the winery justice. It is absolutely stunning with the beautiful backdrop of the Mediterranean Sea. The food pairings are more than just a snack, we were quite full be the end of the meal. This is tour is definitely worth your time and money!
