"It almost seems like paradise".
The town sits on top of an imposing cliff rising up immediately behind the turquoise sea and golden sand. Houses seem to cling precariously to its side and your first view of Tropea will never be forgotten.
The town itself is quite small and one of the prettiest towns in Calabria. The cobbled streets are lined with old buildings made from golden stone and at various points you find yourself looking down alarmingly at the sea below. The sea is accessed via windy roads or some 200 steps. On a clear day you can easily see the volcanic island of Stromboli from the waterfront promenade.

Last, but far from least are the beaches which must be the best in southern Italy. The azure sea is crystal clear and the smooth, white sand beaches shelve quite quickly into the inviting water.
