The historical old town of Tropea, also called the 'pearl of Mediterranean' still remains like it was in the 16th century. The main street 'Corso' ends on a terrace with a magic view on the turquoise seaside and the small island of 'Santa Maria' with its old monastery.
The western position allows admiring everyday the sunset behind Stromboli. The water is so transparent because of the quartz sand which you can shake off easily and offers the base for wonderful light games. The picturesque town offers shopping possibilities for local products like the typical sweet red onions, olives and chilli pepper, fresh fish, jewellery from corals and also fashion shops.
A 'must' is an excursion to Capo Vaticano with spectacular occasions for snorkelling, diving and underwater fishing and also to the volcano of Stromboli.
