Sept is a great time to go, off price rates on hotels and beach front resorts! We stayed in Sept at Hotel Villaggio Stromboli for $37.00 euros per night with a large balcony and sea view! The next year we went, we spent a bit more, for around 60.00 euros per night we stayed at Hotel Baia del Godona Resort and Spa, it was wonderful, has its own spa and its own beach! The pool was wonderful too! Each of these resorts I mentioned has their own restaurant on site, so you can add lunch and dinner to your stay if you chose to. Everything pretty much closes down mid Oct after the Germans leave. My husband and I are planning our third trip back to Capo Vaticano, Ricadi, this May! We usually have gone in the fall Sept, Oct. Its beach called Scalea has been elected as the most beautiful beach of Calabria! Not only because of the beautiful scenery and the crystal clear sea water but also because the whole area is a location of great historic interest and where many finds from the Paleolithic have already been recovered.Ĭapo Vaticano (pic n☆) is about 12 kilometers away from Tropea and, despite it lacks a real town or historic center, it is a nice place to go if you want to be amazed by wonderful views, especially at sunset.Ībsolutely do not miss the lighthouse of Capo Vaticano (pic n☆), built on the very top of a rock over 110 meters above sea level which is the "real" place called "Capo Vaticano".Reviewed By jerseygirlgonecali - Encinitas, United States
Leaving Tropea, have a stop at the small village of Santa Domenica di Ricadi (pic n★). 'Culinary' news: Tropea is also famous for its red onions. If you like snorkeling, we suggested visiting Grotta Azzurra, in order to admire this amazing grotto and its beautiful seabed. Some of its beautiful white sand beaches are Linguata Beach (pic n☃), Beach of Cannone, Beach Marina dell’Isola, Beach Rotonda, Beach Convento. The village is also a perfect destination for beach lovers as there are many well-equipped or unspoiled beaches alternating with the rocky coastline.
This church is the most characteristic building of Tropea. Also, you can visit the Franciscan Monastery and the Church of Santa Maria dell'Isola (pic n☄), built on the famous rock of Santa Maria dell'Isola and overlooking the sea (pic n☁). When in Tropea, you should visit the main church, namely the Cathedral of Maria Santissima di Romania, built in the twelfth century by the Normans.
You will also find narrow streets with old arched doors and many historic noble palaces built on the overhanging rocks. Tropea is a typical Italian town with many small shops of all kinds, pretty bars, cafes, restaurants and where the local people (and also tourists) like taking a nice walk along the main street, Corso Vittorio Emanuele, or in the main square and heart of the historic center, Piazza Ercole. The historic center of the city is located in this upper part overlooking the sea where you can enjoy stunning views from! Tropea, this lovely seaside resort (pic n☁) (pic n☂) consists of two parts: one is the lower part, called " Marina" and it is located on the sea level, while the other one is the upper part of the city built on a rock which ranges from 50 to 61 meters high. This lush area offers some amazing tourist seaside resorts, such as the above-mentioned Tropea, also known as the "Pearl of Calabria", Santa Domenica di Ricadi, Capo Vaticano and others. Tropea lies here, on the "Costa degli Dei" (Coast of the Gods, the part of the coastline that stretches between Pizzo and Nicotera for about 55 kilometers), which features long white sand beaches nestled in unspoiled bays, jagged rocks, small coves accessible only on foot or by boat and crystal clear water. The Tyrrhenian coast is known as one of the most beautiful Italian coastlines. Between these two seas, there is a hilly landscape, covered with forests, fields, small waterfalls, and olive groves alternating with authentic mountain villages. The region of Calabria, the "foot" of the boot-shaped Italy, is surrounded by two seas, the Tyrrhenian Sea to the west and the Ionian Sea to the east.
