Discover Calabria - the "toe of the boot' on the extreme southern tip of Italy - lapped by the splendid crystal-clear Ionian and Tyrrhenian Seas. The Strait of Messina separates mainland Italy from Sicily.
Leaving from Vibo Marina, we'll begin our visit with Tropea, a seaside resort with impressive scenery. This stretch of coastline is known as Coast of the Gods. Already frequented during Roman times, it was the Normans, Angevins and Aragonese that made Tropea prosper. We'll see the marvelous cathedral and the Benedictine Sanctuary of Santa Maria dell'Isola. The sanctuary is on a rocky outcrop surrounded by the beach and sparkling sea and it's not hard to understand why it's one of the city's most photographed attractions. We'll enjoy a tasting of regional products.
