Il Calabriano Villaggio Camping

After days swimming, sunbathing, snorkelling and boating around Il Calabriano Villaggio Camping's sea, get set to explore the seaside resorts of the rest of this heavenly coast, like at Tropea, nine kilometres away; the views of the sea from here are spectacular. Other cities on the same coast are Pizzo Calabro – recommended options including seeing its castle and investigating its tartufo ice-cream – and Nicotera, with a cathedral dating back to the eighteenth century and comely buildings almost on the beach. A boat trip around the volcanic archipelago of the Aeolian Islands is also much recommended, particularly its main isle of Lipari; the active volcano of aptly-named Vulcano, and Stromboli, with the UNESCO World Heritage Site hamlet of Ginostra.
