Day Trips from Tropea: The Best Itinerary

Calabria rewards leaving the beach for a day: a cave church to the north, a fishing village in the water to the south, and volcanic islands on the horizon. Here are the trips worth taking, with the tours to book.

Pizzo

Half an hour north for the Chiesetta di Piedigrotta carved into the cliff, and the tartufo that was invented in its main square.

Scilla

An hour south, where the Chianalea houses stand in the sea below the Ruffo castle, looking across at Sicily.

The Aeolians

A full day to Lipari and Vulcano, or the evening run to watch Stromboli erupt.
