Tropea Walking Tour
Tropea, Italy
Why Walk Tropea
Tropea sits on a cliff above some of the clearest waters in mainland Italy. The town's most iconic sight is Santa Maria dell'Isola, a medieval church atop a rocky outcrop connected to the beach. The historic center is a compact grid of narrow streets, baroque churches, and palazzi built on the cliff edge. Tropea is also famous for its sweet red onions, a local specialty used in everything from salads to marmalade.
