The village of Ganzirri near the NE tip of Sicily lies between the Pantanto Grande and the Stretto di Messina. The main coastal road skirts N of the town and adjacent to Pantanto Grande. The villages of Ganzirri, Santa Agata, Grotta, Pace and Paradiso constitute an almost uninterrupted line of houses from 1. 5 to 4 miles SW of Torre Faro. Temporary anchorage can be obtained by small vessels off Ganzirri in a depth of 11 m, sand and good holding ground. However, this anchorage is exposed to strong SE and SSE winds, which raise a heavy sea.
