Scalèa Beach

Sunbathe and snorkel during the day and party at night at this popular and beautiful cliff-bordered beach, which attracts a youthful crowd.

Inspect the vestiges of this important medieval watch tower and attend a musical or dramatic show at the adjacent theater.

Sitting high on a chunk of rock jutting out into the sea, this iconic medieval-style monastery is an icon of the town of Tropea.

Look for a revered Byzantine icon of the town’s patron saint, Madonna of Romania, as well as two unexploded World War II bombs in this centuries-old cathedral.

See religious themed sculptures, frescoes and reliquary busts as well as exhibits covering ancient burial practices in this ecclesiastical museum.

Dock your boat at Tropea’s main harbor, which has space for about 450 boats of varying sizes as well as lots of useful amenities.
