Calabria, on the western coast of southern Italy, is one of the least visited regions but it has beautiful beaches, charming seaside towns, historical sites, and great food. Calabria’s west coast, on the Tyrrhenian Sea, is known for its pristine white-sand beaches sitting below rocky cliffs. Adding to the charm, the coast is dotted with seaside villages and medieval castles.
Scilla
Scilla’s cliffs, above the Strait of Messina, are famous as being the home of the six-headed monster in The Odyssey. Local legends say mermaids live in the waves created by the strong currents in the strait.
