About Tropea:

Already the name Tropea exudes pure holiday feeling. The little 6,300-inhabitant town is a popular holiday resort on the coast to the Tyrrhenian Sea, dubbed "the pearl of the Tyrrhenian Sea." Imagine a small place in the south, the sun is shining, a light breeze is blowing around your nose. Walking through the narrow streets, you will pass old pastel-colored houses that all tell their own story.

Perched on the cliffs is the Cathedral of Santa Maria dell' Isola. Delightful cafés, restaurants, boutiques and market stalls string together, from the distance you can hear the sound of the sea.

The city was built on a steep cliff of sandstone and offers you a fantastic backdrop. The ascent on the sandstone cliffs is worthwhile not only to admire the architecture but also the view. From here you, have the best view on Tropea, the beautiful gardens of Santa Maria dell' Isola and the enchanting Mediterranean beaches.
