Riposto is a very non touristy port town near lots of touristy places. We went to Taormina, Etna wineries and hung out at the locals beach. There is a very delicious pasticcheria nearby with local treats and the best almond granita, yum!! The area is on local beach with lots of families. We were there in September so many of the beach places with chairs were closed, but many restaurants were still open. We had a great time.
