[2024 Tropea Attraction] Travel Guide for Santa Maria dell'Isola (Updated Oct)

Visit Tropea 🇮🇹

#travelgram Tropea, Italy, is like a dream come true! Perched on cliffs overlooking the turquoise Tyrrhenian Sea, this coastal gem is simply stunning. I spent hours just strolling through the narrow streets, soaking in the charm of the old town. The highlight for me was visiting the Santa Maria dell’Isola, a picturesque monastery on a rocky promontory. Entry was around €3, and the panoramic views from the top were unbelievable—definitely a must-see! The beaches are just as amazing as you’d expect. I spent an afternoon lounging at Spiaggia della Rotonda, where the crystal-clear water made for perfect swimming. The best part? It’s free to access! Afterward, I indulged in some gelato and fresh seafood at one of the seaside restaurants—Tropea’s red onions are famous, and they didn’t disappoint! Tropea’s laid-back vibe combined with its natural beauty made it the perfect escape. Plus, you’re close to Pizzo and Capo Vaticano if you want to explore more of Calabria’s coastline. #TropeaViews #SantaMariaDellIsola #CalabrianBeaches #ItalianCharm #GelatoDreams #BeachEscape
