Description:
Reggio di Calabria lies at the southern tip of the Italian peninsula on the eastern shore of the Strait of Messina.
This is a commercial harbor and busy with ferries to and from Sicily. Although this is the biggest port in this area, it is not the most attractive port. It suffered a severe earthquake in 1980.
Take note of the tides when planning to enter this harbor as the streams between Sicily and the mainland can be strong and can cause quite heavy seas. Another hazard to be aware of is the number of pots and fishing lines laid to the south of the harbor. This makes does not make a night approach advisable.
Position:
38°07.8'N,15°38.92'E (harbor entrance)
