Things to do in Tropea, Calabria: The Best Sights & Landmarks

June 7, 2021 Veronika Gaddis

If you come across "cipolla di Tropea"-flavored gelato, you might worry that you’ve forgotten your Italian… or are losing your mind. Don’t fret. "Cipolla" does mean onion, and yes, that is indeed onion gelato. The local red onions are so popular that they’ve even made it into dessert. Tropea, like so many towns on the Amalfi Coast, has a gorgeous cliffside setting. Beneath those cliffs, you’ll find beautiful, sandy beaches.

The Sanctuary of Santa Maria dell'Isola

The Sanctuary of Santa Maria dell'Isola is located in Tropea ( VV ) . It has medieval origins and is the emblem of the city.

This little gem is well worth the few stairs down to the beach and up to the sanctuary. The church and its terrace are free; For the rooftop terrace and the gardens a little (2 Euros p.p.) admission fee is charged. Very nice views from the terraces and the garden. The city view is best in the late afternoon. Also nice after dusk.

Reviewed By bogdanp201 - Bucharest, Romania

The second half of September, is a great time to visit Tropea. During this time, there is a jazz festival in the old town. Old buildings, small family shops, nice restaurants, narrow streets - all together give a charm to this beautiful city.
