Right in the lovely heart of the historical town centre of Tropea lays this nice little flat. It is an ideal place for a couple who want to immerse into the life of a small Italian coast town. All facilities like shops, restaurants and bars are in front of the house door and the beautiful beaches with the crystal clear sea are only about 300m away. The apartment has one room with double bed, and kitchenette and a bathroom with shower. From the two large window-doors you can overlook the pedestrian zone. Bars, restaurants and shops are in the immediate neighbourhood.
Tropea is a municipality located within the province of Vibo Valentia, in Calabria (southern Italy).
The town is a famous bathing place located situated on a reef, in the gulf of St. Euphemia connected with the mainland by a narrow strip in the Tyrrhenian Sea, toward the south with respect to Vibo Valentia and northward with respect to Ricadi and Capo Vaticano.
Ecclesiastical history
Nicotera and Tropea is a Roman Catholic suffragan diocese of the archbishopric of Reggio di Calabria.
Nicotera, the ancient Medama, is a city of the Province of Catanzaro, in Calabria, Italy; it was destroyed by the earthquake of 1783. Its first known bishop was Proculus, to whom, with others, a letter of pope St. Gregory the Great was written in 599. With the exception of Sergius (787), none of its bishops is known earlier than 1392. Under Bishop Charles Pinti, the city was pillaged by the Ottoman Turks.
In 1818, it was united on equal terms (aeque principaliter) with the Diocese of Tropea. It has a beautiful cathedral, restored after its destruction by the earthquake of 1783. Here the Greek Rite was formerly used. Only three bishops before the Norman conquest are known; the first, Joannes, is referred to the year 649; among its other prelates was Nicolò Acciapori (1410), an eminent statesman.
The diocese had in the early 20th century 72 parishes, with 78,000 inhabitants, a Franciscan house, and a house of the Sisters of Charity.
Tropea is perfect for a little Meditteranean sunbathing and sightseeing, if you don’t mind feeling like one of many, many tourists that crowd here during the high season (July-September). Tropea’s touristiness can be part of the fun, as people watching opportunities (especially of bronzed southern Italians and for some reason huge quantities of decidedly-less-bronzed Germans) abound. During the day, the beaches below Tropea’s white cliffs beckon; at night, Tropea’s tiny downtown is a maze of restaurants, bars, and piazze packed with trinkets for tourists (i.e. you) to buy.
The cuisine is also worthy of a mention: Tropea is famous for its sweet red onions, which can be found here in a wide variety of dishes, including ice cream.
