Tropea

So romantic....

I fell in love with Tropea as soon as we arrived here. Love at the first sight! Such impressive scenery with a pretty little antique town with an amazing view over the stunning coast with the most colorful beaches.

We went twice to Tropea. Once in the afternoon on Ferragosto (the 15th which is an Italian holiday) and once during the day Friday before we left Calabria. The first time we enjoyed a after beach party down the beach, looked at the amazing sun set, had dinner at a very nice restaurant, strolled around the little streets and had a cocktail on a piazza while listening to a live concert. Amazing evening! The second time we came early in the morning and spent the whole day on one of the beaches. We rented a pedalo and saw the Tropea coast from the water side, had lunch at the beach and a refreshing granita before heading back to Capo Vaticano for dinner. It was nice too but Tropea was particularly fascinating during the evening!

I would have loved staying a whole week in Tropea to be honest. The reason we choose Capo Vaticano instead of Tropea was for the prices. In Capo Vaticano you get a very nice hotel, with half board and swimming pool for less money you get a one star B&B in Tropea. The only thing is that Tropea is the busiest and most attractive city in Calabrua and during the summer it is overly packed with tourists, the beaches are full and the atmosphere is very international while in Capo Vaticano it was very peaceful and only Italians around, so for that I am glad we stayed where we were.
I would recommended everyone to visit Tropea. All kinds of people of all ages. Everyone will enjoy and find it amazing!

Second time in Tropea
