At the foot of Mount Etna just 6 nautical miles from Taormina is the Marina di Riposto port, a modern, well-equipped dock with 150 m of moorable quay on shore in addition to 570 m of floating docks.
This landing is structured as follows:
- a central concrete pier oriented for ENE from which several floating docks depart;
- A moorable shore quay of about 220 m;
- a dock formed by the sub-billow pier, the anti-swamp groin and the North shore dock, which houses 4 floating docks, currently under completion.
