Tropea is recognised as the foremost seaside resort town in Calabria. The fifteenth century Centro Storico (historic centre) is atmospheric and captivating, with superb and reasonably priced restaurants, bars and traditional shops. The Marina adds glamour to the town, and Tropea has been used in many films and TV series owing to its dramatic and scenic location. Lido culture is readily available on the many beaches, and the monastery and Isola make a stunning backdrop to a day on the beach. Summer temperatures often reach 40 degrees, with bathing on the beach starting in April and continuing well into the Autumn. For those with Google Earth, there are some excellent photo's to be viewed. Public transport is good with a pretty and frequent coastal train service, buses to Vibo and plenty of taxi's at all hours. It is not, therefore, essential to have a car
