Strait of Messina

Decided to head south to the Strait of Messina ... then work back north following the Italian coast.

The Strait of Messina is the narrow section of water between the eastern tip of Sicily and the southern tip of Calabria. A natural whirlpool forms there, which has been linked to the legend of Scylla and Charybdis.

The Strait of Messina Bridge is a planned suspension bridge that is to cross the Strait of Messina—a narrow section of water between the eastern tip of Sicily and the southern tip of mainland Italy. Construction will begin in 2006 and is expected to be completed in 2012. If completed, it will be the largest suspension bridge in the world.
