Cefalù & Tindari Sanctuary  from Messina Port

At 8:30AM you are greeted at Messina port and drive to Cefalù. 
A charming coastal town, has a massive Norman Cathedral with 
outstanding mosaics. Later we continue on to Tindari. 
It was founded as the Greek colony of Tyndaris in 396 BC, 
and was located on the high ground overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea 
in the Gulf of Patti. The Battle of Tyndaris took place off the 
coast in 257 BC. It has a famous sanctuary and is also famous for 
the poem Vento a Tindari, written by Salvatore Quasimodo. 
Local legend tells that the lagoon was created after a pilgrim who came 
to see the Madonna and refused to pray to the Madonna.
The woman accidentally dropped her baby into the ocean and the Madonna 
made the land rise to save the baby. 
The sands of Marinello have taken shape of the profile of the Madonna.
