Overview of your Reggio calabria tour:

Origins of Scilla are very far in times. It is one of the most beautiful and scenic towns in Italy and a favourite destination for artists from all over the world throughout the ages. You will also be struck by the charm of Scilla! Scilla is a beautiful town divided into 3 main districts. In the highest part there is the residential district, called San Giorgio. On the sea front, Chianalea (the fishermen's neighborhood) and Marina Grande (the commercial district), with many bars and restaurants and a long beach very popular with vacationers. I too, often go to the beach in Scilla for the clarity of the waters and the very suggestive place. The whole inhabited area converges towards the cliff on which the castle stands, an ancient fortress located on the top of the promontory overlooking the Strait of Messina. Everywhere panoramic views of the northern mouth of the Strait of Messina, a place where myth and history merge.

Your Reggio calabria tour itinerary

- I suggest starting the visit from the upper part of Scilla and approaching the center a little at a time, crossing narrow streets where you can hear the voices of the people living there. - Arrived in the main square you will be captivated by the charm of the place. it is possible to admire the extraordinary beauty of the colors of the Strait of Messina, the Sicilian coast, the Aeolian islands, the Ruffo's castle, the statues depicting the mythological Scylla, who, according to an ancient legend, was turned into a terrifying monster out of jealousy. - We will go down to the seafront where it will be possible to taste an exquisite granita or eat the characteristic sandwich with swordfish. - You will then stroll through the picturesque Chianalea, a tiny fishermen's quarter with a unique and beautiful ancient street lined with a row of houses leaning against the rock and with nets left to dry in the sun. This tour can be customized upon request.
