The most spectacular views in Calabria
If you needed any more convincing of Calabria’s beauty, look no further. Here is our round up of the most spectacular viewpoints from which to appreciate the region’s rugged mountains and turquoise ocean views.
1. CAPO VATICANO
This viewpoint is on the clifftops of Capo Vaticano, along Calabria’s Costa degli Dei. Enjoy vistas out to Stromboli volcano, over the most beautiful blue waters you have ever seen. Look down towards the beach of Grotticelle and watch the shadows on the seabed of numerous boats and pedalos as swimmers enjoy the crystal clear waters.
2. GERACE
A town drenched in history, Gerace is perched on a 500 metre vertical rock, formed from sea fossils 60 million years ago. From the long viewpoint on the east side of the town, look over terracotta rooftops and out to the Ionian Sea.
3. MONTE SANT'ELIA, PALMI
A particularly spectacular place to enjoy the sunset, three illuminated white crosses mark this viewpoint above Palmi, located on the Costa Viola. Look out to Stromboli volcano at sea, and up the coast to Capo Vaticano as well as across to Sicily on a clear day.
4. FIUMEFREDDO BRUZIO
Your biggest struggle whilst visiting this hilltop town on the Tyrrhenian sea will be deciding which of the piazzas of Fiumefreddo Bruzio is your favourite viewpoint! Enjoy an ice cream and do as the locals do, leaning over the old walls to watch the world go by below.
5. BOVA SUPERIORE
Explore Calabria’s Greek heritage in the beautiful town of Bova in the Aspromonte mountains, and climb to the top of the Norman fortress to enjoy 360 degree vistas. It’s little-visited and certainly not on the main tourist trail, but in our eyes wins the crown of the best view in Calabria.
