Marina di Ragusa is a small village and harbour 20 miles west of [[Pozzallo]] and 29 miles SE of [[Gela]] on the S coast of [[Sicily]].  Originally a 5th century BC Greek settlement, the village passed through Byzantine, Arab and Spanish hands until becoming part of the new Kingdom of [[Italy]] in 1860 along with the rest of [[Sicily]]. It remained a quiet fishing harbour for most of the next hundred years until the advent of tourism in the 1960s. The village had a considerable boost in July 2009 with the opening of the new [[Porto Turistico di Ragusa]], the 723 berths of which make it easily the largest marina in [[Sicily]].

Ragusa

Marina di Ragusa is a small village and harbour 20 miles west of Pozzallo and 29 miles SE of Gela on the S coast of Sicily. Originally a 5th century BC Greek settlement, the village passed through Byzantine, Arab and Spanish hands until becoming part of the new Kingdom of Italy in 1860 along with the rest of Sicily. It remained a quiet fishing harbour for most of the next hundred years until the advent of tourism in the 1960s. The village had a considerable boost in July 2009 with the opening of the new Porto Turistico di Ragusa, the 723 berths of which make it easily the largest marina in Sicily.
