So fascinating as to be nicknamed the "Pearl of the Tyrrhenian Sea", Tropea it is one of the most famous places in Calabria. A pearl set between the Gulf of Joy and Gulf of Sant'Eufemiaon the Costa degli Dei.
Legend has it that it was founded by Hercules returning from Spain, which is why it is known as one of the 5 ports of Hercules. It is one of the most famous villages in Calabria, thanks to its extraordinary natural and architectural beauties that create cultural, artistic and landscape itineraries of great interest.
THEBeautiful island it is certainly one of the most suggestive points of the country. On top, the Sanctuary of S. Maria dell'Isola, which rises right in front of the town and overlooks the crystalline sea. The stairway carved into the rock and the contrast between the greenery of nature and the clear sea creates a very suggestive panorama. At the foot of the sanctuary there are 4 kilometers of white beaches and coves, which alternate with promontories and rocks.
