Reggio Calabria

Tucked inside the Port of Reggio Calabria — one of Calabria's largest — Marina Queen sits right where the Strait of Messina separates Italy from Sicily, making it a natural stopping point if you're crossing the Mediterranean. The views of Mount Etna across the water are genuinely hard to beat. Ashore, Reggio's National Archaeological Museum holds the famous Riace Bronzes, two of the finest surviving ancient Greek statues in the world — well worth the short walk from the dock.
