Occupying the foot of the Italian boot is Calabria, a region
of unspoilt natural landscape, lush green vegetation and virtually
untouched beaches. On the bridge of this foot, roughly where the
shoe laces would be, is Tropea, a pretty little town perched 42m
above the deep blue Tyrrhenian Sea. It is about 10km north-east of Capo
Vaticano and boasts the region’s most attractive piece of
coastline, with several long, sandy beaches just a short walk from
town. But you don't come here if it's action you're after - yes,
there are plenty of cosy trattorias and a lively local marketplace,
but Tropea is still small-town Italy at heart.
