Via Risorgimento, Nicotera

The cluster sits on the Tyrrhenian side of Calabria near the plain and low hills around Nicotera, with the Costa degli Dei farther up the coast but outside the immediate radius. The Tyrrhenian coast is close, with the Gulf of Gioia Tauro and the beaches around Nicotera Marina within the local area. The nearest town of size is Vibo Valentia, which has services, rail connections in the coastal district of Vibo Marina, and a historic centre on the hill. This part of Calabria is known for olive groves, citrus, and the red onion of Tropea from the wider coastal belt.
