Tropea and the Coast of the Gods
Tropea is the heart of the Costa degli Dei, the stretch of Calabria's Tyrrhenian coast that runs from Pizzo to Nicotera with white beaches, crystal-clear sea and villages overlooking the water. Here's what to see, from a stroll in the old town to full-day trips.

Santa Maria dell'Isola
5 min walk
The Benedictine sanctuary perched on a headland above the sea is Tropea's iconic image. A few minutes' climb from the centre, up panoramic gardens to a breathtaking view.
