Via Gabriele D'Annunzio, 5, Melicuccà

The cluster lies on the Tyrrhenian coastal plain of western Reggio Calabria; the Tyrrhenian Sea is about 5 km to the west. The settlement is within the Piana di Gioia Tauro, a broad coastal plain used largely for intensive agriculture (notably olive and citrus cultivation). Within c.15 km are the towns of Gioia Tauro (municipality with a large commercial container port and a railway station), Rosarno and Taurianova (local service centres). The container terminal of Gioia Tauro, a major transshipment port on the Tyrrhenian coast, is within the 15 km radius. The Tyrrhenian railway and the regional road network cross the plain and motorway access (A2/Autostrada del Mediterraneo) is available in the wider area. There are no named mountain ranges or national parks inside 15 km; the Aspromonte massif lies farther inland to the south‑east. The coastal belt nearby contains beaches and small seaside towns.
