Viale della Musica, San Calogero

The area sits on the inland side of the Costa degli Dei, with low Calabrian hills and olive groves rather than a mountain setting. The Tyrrhenian coast is nearby, with the beaches around Tropea, Zambrone and Capo Vaticano within about 15 km. Vibo Valentia is the nearest larger town, with full services, a historic centre and the Norman-Swabian castle that houses the state archaeological museum. Tropea, within the same local area, is a well-known historic coastal town on a cliff above the sea and is listed among I Borghi più belli d'Italia. This part of Calabria is known for red onions from Tropea and for olive oil.
