Messina, Sicily, is pretty easy on the wallet, and the cost of living in this city is quite low compared to other locations in Italy and Europe. Generally, Sicily can be expensive in many touristy areas or during peak season, but Messina stays pretty affordable. Basic food, meals in restaurants, and transport are generally low-cost. A decent meal might cost you around €12. Daily basic necessities such as eggs and bread are also reasonably priced. Rent is inexpensive when compared to rent in other bigger cities in Italy. It sounds like a good deal if you are looking to save a few euros. Of course, these figures are not absolute, especially if you prefer to spend more.
