Tropea and Capo Vaticano: The Jewels of the Tyrrhenian Coast

Tropea, known as the Pearl of the Tyrrhenian Sea, is one of the most charming tourist destinations in Calabria, first mentioned by Pliny the Elder in the 1st century AD. Its historic center, characterized by elegant noble palaces and artisan shops, is home to the majestic Norman Cathedral, which houses the precious painting of the Madonna of Romania, Patroness of Tropea.
From one of the city's scenic terraces overlooking the sea, you can admire the famous Santuario di Santa Maria dell'Isola, an icon of Tropea surrounded by white sandy beaches and lush Mediterranean vegetation. On the clearest days, the panorama extends to the magical Aeolian Islands.
Capo Vaticano, just a few kilometers from Tropea, is famous for its wild and breathtaking landscape. Here, we will take you to discover the Capo Vaticano Lighthouse, from which you can enjoy one of the most spectacular views in Calabria, with the sea blending with the horizon and the cliffs towering over the crystal-clear waters.
