The land of heroes and gods

Sea

Capo Vaticano, Ricadi - Vincenzo Stranieri

The destination "Costa degli Dei" (Coast of the Gods), in Calabria, in the province of Vibo Valentia, is part of the Regional Marine Park of the same name, located on a stretch of the Tyrrhenian Sea with colours, flora and fauna reminiscent of the Caribbean.

The beaches of the Costa degli Dei have graced the covers of magazines around the world! Their names say it all: Paradiso del Sub (Zambrone), Spiaggetta di Parghelia, Spiaggia del Tono, Praia di Fuoco, Ficara, Grotticelle and Formicoli, in Capo Vaticano (Ricadi).

What does a tour of the Costa degli Dei involve? A multi-stage itinerary that includes some of Italy's Most Beautiful Villages and Blue Flag beaches, starting with the so-called "Pearl of the Tyrrhenian Sea": Tropea, with its picture-postcard views. The tour continues to Pizzo, Briatico and Nicotera, home of the Mediterranean Diet. Speaking of diet, what's on the menu on the Costa degli Dei? Many branded products, typical of Calabrian cuisine, which, by definition, is sea/mountain: the unmissable Tropea Red Onion PGI, the spicy 'Nduja di Spilinga and the delicious Pecorino del Monte Poro PDO, to name but a few.

Sports enthusiasts can opt for excursions on the Costa degli Dei to discover the hinterland, from Mount Poro to the Serre Regional Park; sailing enthusiasts can take a boat trip along the Costa degli Dei, admiring the main villages where tuna fishing is still practised at a leisurely pace and discovering secret coves.
