Tropea - Calabria's Jewel Overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea
Perched on cliffs above sparkling blue waters in Italy's Calabria region sits the picturesque seaside town of Tropea. Known as the "Capo Vaticano", this historic Mediterranean village charms with its dramatic natural setting and quaint cobblestone centre.
Tropea's Santa Maria dell'Isola monastery on a rocky offshore outcrop remains an iconic landmark. The walking promenade hugging the cliffs delights strollers with stunning sea vistas. Centuries of Greek, Spanish, and French influence blended to create Tropea's unique culture and architecture. Beachgoers flock to the area in summer.
Southern Italy's climate means hot dry summers and mild winters - perfect for exploring Tropea's outdoor charms. It is easily accessible via highway or rail along Calabria's west coast.
From its cliffside Mediterranean vistas to the red-tiled rooftops of its atmospheric old town, Tropea encapsulates the beauty, history and sunshine of southern Italy's vibrant coastal villages.
