Le Castella

Le Castella is a renowned seaside destination along the Costa dei Saraceni, at the center of the "Isola Capo Rizzuto" Marine Protected Area, in the homonymous municipality in the province of Crotone.

The Aragonese Castle (15th century) that characterizes the locality (from which it takes its name) is one of the most iconic buildings in Calabria: it rises above the water and is connected to the shore by a narrow strip of sand. It has long been one of the favorite filming locations for major Italian directors and cine-tourism enthusiasts, who visit it throughout the year.

Le Castella is one of the main attractions for those choosing a vacation in Isola Capo Rizzuto, where sea lovers will be spoilt for choice with wide and varied beaches, each more beautiful than the last: Capo Piccolo Beach, entirely surrounded by Mediterranean scrub, Torre Nuova (or delle Guardie) Beach, Torre Vecchia Beach, Sovereto Beach, and Le Cannella Beach, named for its bright red color, reminiscent of cinnamon.
