Hellenistic period, and one of the largest in size. Also included is a photo stop at the Arcadian Gate.
After meeting your guide you start the drive to Ancient Messina. First you enjoy a photo stop to see the Arcadian Gate which once connected Messina with Arcadia. This monumental fortification was built with huge limestone slabs and is an awe-inspiring site. It is circular with two entrances, a double inner and an outer where we will stop for photos.
Your next stop is Ancient Messina.
