If coming to Messina via cruise ship, your main concern will be getting back to the port in time without being late and missing the ship or getting back too early and sitting around for an hour or two. Tours via shipboard are not for that long a time in Taormina and are very expensive. Bus is cheap but is it on time or have room for you to get on. Train is even more hectic because you have to get to and from the station. So, cheaper than a cruise tour but still a little expensive is a taxi. They leave right from the port, within a few feet from where you get off. They take you to where you want to go in the least amount of time and they will get you back to the port and your ship within a reasonable time, say 30-45 minutes before sailing. They will also show you around Messina, if you like, and after dropping you off in Taormina, meet you at a preselected spot to pick you up at a certain time in Taormina. If that interests you then see my Messina transportation tip on VT by going to the web page: Enter Sicily via Messina - Messina, Italy
