The harbour of Riposto on the E coast of [[Sicily]] lies 32 miles south of [[Messina]] and 16 miles north of [[Catania]].  A new marina, '''Porto dell’Etna''', is nearing completion in the harbour (August 2010) and provides 370 berths for vessels up to 40 metres.  Riposto is situated virtually in the shadow of Mount Etna and, with the completion of the marina, provides a welcome addition to the ports of refuge along the east coast.
