Capo Vaticano
This spur, which stretches from the Calabrian Appenines to the Tyrrheanian Sea directly opposite the Aeolian Islands, is geographically known as the promontory of Capo Vaticano. It divides the Gulfs of Santa Eufemia and Gioia Tauro. It is located in the Ricadi municipality, about 7 Km from Tropea. Tropea to the north, Joppolo to the south and Spilinga and Drapia to the east are the well-known little towns which surround it. In ancient times the "Cape" was a sacred place well-known throughout Magna Grecia since it was here that priests and soothsayers looked into the future. During the course of the centuries the ancient civilisations have left traces of their artistic, cultural and scientific manifestations. Over the centuries the beauty of the Capo Vaticano coastline has charmed poets and writers alike. For instance, Giuseppe Berto (the autor of "Il male oscuro") decided to live here where some of his best works was inspired.
Tropea - Ricadi - Capo Vaticano are made even more charming by the large choice of accommodation facilities on offer: hotels, residence self catering accommodation, b&b, guesthouses, inns, camp sites, agriturismos and holiday homes.
