Tropea overlooks one of the most enchanting stretches of Calabria, the Costa degli Dei, a coastline famous for its crystal-clear waters, white sandy beaches, and steep cliffs by the sea. The town, known as the “Pearl of the Tyrrhenian,” features a charming historic center with cobblestone streets, flower-adorned balconies, and ancient noble palaces that tell centuries of history. The most notable landmark is the Sanctuary of Santa Maria dell’Isola, perched on a rocky spur above the sea, providing one of the Mediterranean's most cherished views.
As you stroll through the streets of Tropea, you'll come across artisan shops, traditional restaurants, and markets where you can discover local products, the most famous being the Tropea red onion, renowned worldwide for its sweet and distinctive flavor. The area is also a strategic base for exploring the surroundings: just a few kilometers away, you'll find the beaches of Capo Vaticano, with hidden coves and breathtaking views that become unforgettable at sunset.
The sea, the true star of the region, invites you to take boat trips to discover pristine caves and bays, or to embark on day trips to the Aeolian Islands, easily accessible from the port of Tropea. There are plenty of opportunities to experience authentic activities, such as food and wine tours featuring tastings of Calabrian wines, traditional cooking classes, and nature walks through hills and olive groves that exude the scent of the Mediterranean scrub.
Thus, Tropea and the Costa degli Dei offer a perfect blend of natural beauty, culture, traditions, and flavors, providing travelers with a complete and unforgettable experience in every season.
