Holidays to Tropea give you all the beachy goodness of Calabria, with crystal-clear waters and a dose of old Italian charm.
The best of the boot
Nestled on the edge of Italy's big toe in the scenic Calabria region, aptly known as Coast of the Gods, Tropea's a world of beaches, piazzas and quaint little churches. It's got wisteria-covered balconies, pastel-painted facades and – most importantly – unforgettable sea views.
Sparkling shores
Beach lovers be warned, Tropea's bays are so picture-perfect you'll find it hard to leave. Wander down the hillside to reach a fairy tale sight – beaches with sands so white they could've been plucked from The Caribbean. Not to mention the sparkling turquoise waves that lap at the shore.
