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 harbour and busy with ferries to and from Sicily. Althoughthis is the biggest port in this area, little has been done to this town since the last earthquake in 1980 and it has a rather impoverished air. Fuel by jerry can is available here.
Take note ofthe tides when planning to enter this harbour 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 andfishing lines laid to the south of the harbour. This makes a night approach unadvisable.
Position 38°07'N,15°39'E.

The ferries create quite a wash and the swell can enter the harbour. Good fenders are advisable and be sure to leave plenty of distance to the quay. New lazy lines were fitted in early2012. It is a noisy port as the main road and railway line run just behind the berths. The water is filthy and the port stinks of sewage.
There is a small supermarket out of the port and up theroad to the left. This is a dirty and risky walk as the traffic speeds past in this area. There is a small chandlery and engine machine shop across the road from the port, which could be useful in an...
