Tropea

Tropea is a town in the Italian province of Vibo Valentia. According to legend, Hercules founded the settlement on his way back from his labors at the Pillars of Hercules. Near Tropea, Magna Graecian graves have been discovered. Sextus Pompey defeated Octavius off the shore of Tropea. The Romans established a commercial port in Formicoli, about 3 kilometers south of Tropea. For 2021, this coastal community was chosen as the "Most Beautiful Village in Italy."

Tropea is the ideal destination for your summer vacation in Italy, with its gorgeous surroundings and rich history. It is the most well-known tourist resort in Calabria, southern Italy, on its western coast and along a magnificent length of the Tyrrhenian Sea known as La Costa Degli Dei. It's no surprise that the town is referred to as Calabria's "jewel in the crown" because of its clifftop ancient center, beaches, and azure waters surrounding the island rock in front, and valued red onions. Tropea is a complete unknown on the international tourist circuit despite increasing popularity and visibility in recent years. This town can be reached by train from Scilla in around 1 hour 30 minutes using Trenitalia's regional trains. You can get a window seat since the rugged coastline between Tropea and Rosarno is truly spectacular.
