Tropea is a seaside resort located in the region of Calabria, in the south of Italy.

With dramatic cliffs overlooking a crystal clear blue sea and sunny beaches, Tropea is a famous bathing place.

Although it is not particularly well-known to English-speaking travellers, Tropea is popular with Italians.

The town is a puzzling maze of pretty little lanes and piazzas.

At the top is the monastery, Santa Maria dell’Isola, built in the 7th century.
