About Tropea
Calabria's Costa degli Dei is anchored by Tropea, a medieval town perched on a 60-metre sandstone cliff above the Tyrrhenian, with the Benedictine Santuario di Santa Maria dell'Isola standing on a rocky outcrop linked to shore by a sandy isthmus. North of town, Spiaggia di Riaci hides rocky coves and clear pools; south at Capo Vaticano, smaller white-sand calette like Grotticelle and Praia di Fuoco curl between low cliffs. Sea temperatures hold between 25 and 27 °C77 and 81 °F from July through September, with Lamezia Terme airport 75 minutes by road.
