I'm planning on taking a trip to see relatives who live in Rocca diCapri Leone, which is the province of Messina, not far from Capo D'Orlando. I don't know whether it would be easier, cheapest, or best to fly into Palermo andamp; take the train to Messina; or fly into Catania and see if there's a train or bus route that goes into Messina; or fly into Calabria on the mainland of Italy and take the ferry to Messina Any suggestions Fly into Catania and take the train (less than two hours to Messina Centrale. You can fly on one ticket all the way from the US to Catania, via Milan, or Rome mostly.f that costs too much (nothing under 1k that I can see, try this: Get the cheapest flight into MXP or FCO, then look, completely separately, for a budget airline from ther to Catania and back.dd up the two and see if you save enough to make the additional hassle factor worth your while. If you do that and save, leave plenty of cushion for the connections, and read the fine print of the budget airline about luggage allowance and such. Search at Kayak (click. Trains in Italy are at this site (click. Maps and such at Maporama (click. If Catania doesn't work for some reason, try Palermo the train from there take about 3 hours. Hope this helps.
