We would like to cross from Reggio di Calabria to Messina in month of June towing a caravan. I see from your information that we have no need to book as the crossings are frequent, is it possible to cross from Sicily to Sardinia also in that month? If so, would we need to book tickets from Sicily to Sardinia? Would it then be possible to go from Sardinia to France during month of July? Very kinds regards jill

in reply to Adeline Sagan and for other interested visitors: I am no ferry crossing company.I am a tourist like you, coming from Austria,Vienna, and I was there also with my private car some years ago.(2004) . There are several ferry companies which cross from Villa San Giovanni (Italy-mainland) to Messina(Sicily) and very frequently,at least every hour.There is no need to purchase the tickets in advance.It is very easy to pay it there. Look at this link you see a time table,but as said this is only from one company,there are crossing several at the Street of Messina: http://www.carontetourist.it/v2.0_us/stretto.mvd Look also at these links for more infos: http://www.gotaormina.com/de/anreise/faehre.html http://forums.travel.com/europe-travel-forum/104152-ferry-villa-san-giovanni-messina.html

Please advise as to how often you cross to Sicily. We are Canaddians and we need to have some idea of the freequency so we can complete our travel plans. We are travelling by car. We have no knowledge of the days you travel and the frequency. Can we purchase our tickets in advance?
