Gerace is about 10 km east inland and 479 metres above sea level. The town affords a captivating view of the surrounding mountaintops and of the valleys that lead down to the sea. This charming harmonious town, relatively undiscovered by the general tourist, stands amidst some rugged and colourful countryside.
Tropea is on the west coast of the Calabrian peninsula. This is one of Italy’s most beloved seaside towns, so you’ll find a lot of tourists here in the summer months. But don’t let the crowds put you off – the area’s popularity means that you’ll find a broad choice of good restaurants along with a great atmosphere in the town in the evenings.
