Tropea essence of the Mediterranean

Tropea, therefore, continues to fascinate and we hope that these spotlights will also favor his candidacy for the Italian Capital of Culture in 2022. Tropea can be read on the page of the Club of the Most Beautiful Villages in Italy “It is the essence of the Mediterranean”. Tropea is the perfect union between the crystalline sea and the beauty of its historic center. The scents of the Mediterranean scrub and the twisted streets that show wonders. Tropea is the overhanging houses, which plunge into the immensity of the sky and the sea.

It is the islet with the church of Santa Maria dell'Isola. Walking through the streets of the village you get lost in scents and intoxicating colors. Many artisan shops that open to the passage and many flowered balconies, also, adorned with the local red onions, IGP product of great value. A place with ancient origins dating back to the Bronze Age and which has been enriched over time, thanks to the many dominations that have followed one another and have traces of their passage.
