Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Being Sicilian, every year we look forward to returning to Tropea to immerse ourselves in its wonderful landscape and crystal clear waters that always leave us breathless. This corner of paradise in Calabria is a must for those who love the sea and natural beauty.
The view, with its mix of imposing cliffs and white sandy beaches, is simply enchanting. We highly recommend admiring all this from the boat: the view from the sea offers a unique perspective that makes the beauty of Tropea stand out even more.
You can not resist the temptation to dive into those clear and regenerating waters. It is an experience that recharges the soul and that we recommend to anyone who wants to spend time in a place that looks like something out of a postcard. Tropea is a destination that conquers us every year and that we will continue to visit with pleasure.

Tropea is truly a place kissed by the Gods... tropical sea and cool climate compared to other locations in the Tyrrhenian Sea. Nopi we were there the first week of July and the temperature did not exceed 28 degrees where in other locations further north as Maratea and Praia a Mare there were 32-33 degrees. There is always a sea breeze all day and the weather is not very humid... at least in the period when we were there. The second thing that makes it spectacular is the beautiful old town overlooking the Convent and the beautiful turquoise sea. All coupled with local specialties such as Tropea Red Onion and Nduja with which a wide variety of traditional local dishes are seasoned. We were also surprised by the cleanliness of the streets and tourist areas and the large amount of English and German tourists... you could hear almost exclusively English. So no queues in shops, establishments and tourist clubs... but maybe this is because it was only the first week of July!

That Tropea was beautiful is known to everyone, but that it was really so beautiful I did not imagine it! Ha superato tutte le più rosee aspettative!!! I made an excursion starting from the Ionian coast and already, along the way, you could appreciate the view and the promenade of the Tyrrhenian coast, with clear sand and turquoise sea. Characteristic, along the way, the stalls with hanging the infamous red onions of Tropea, sold at a cost of only 1.50 euros per kilo, when they are usually sold double or triple.
It is counted among the most beautiful villages in Italy and deserves it all!!!! The old town is very nice, clean and well maintained. It is very pleasant to walk through the streets and get lost among the many shops of the village. A must-see is the cathedral inside the historic center, which combines in a single architectural structure two different styles: the central nave in the Byzantine style and the side one in the Baroque style. Two churches in one, one of a kind. The central street ends with a panoramic terrace, with a crazy view, from which you can admire the sanctuary of Santa Maria dell’Isola on the sea and the entire coast. You are enraptured by the colors of the sea, an intense blue to rhyme astonished, and the light color of the surrounding beaches. Se siete in Calabria non potete non fermarvi a visitare Tropea! Rimarrete piacevolmente sorpresi!!!

Tropea Beach is quite fascinating. It's on the coast of Calabria, where delicious red onions are grown, which are unique. The red onions can be consumed, made with vegetable broth and pasta. The restaurant is popular for serving red onions, in an osteria-style Italian restaurant. Calabria is the toe of Italy, in the Peninsula's southwest, adjacent to Sicily. Sicily is the Mediterranean's island Tropea is famous for fish and red onions.

That is to say that it is true that parking is very expensive 3€ an hour in October but also it is true that you can park up and down on foot, it is not close but in the meantime you take a walk. In October we also found parking near the beach without paying. That is to say that the beach was not crowded although it was 30 degrees. The sea is a spectacle of nature. The beach clean and the beaches open. Price of 1 umbrella and 2 deck chairs 20€ .

You can park near the beach (at high costs) but you have to go there early in the morning to find a spot. The white sandy beach is relatively small and obviously super crowded. Presence of beaches and possibility to rent pedal boats. The sea immediately deep is a fantastic blue. The breathtaking view. You can see all of Tropea with its Belvedere where thousands of tourists overlook and on one side the Sanctuary of Santa Maria dell'Isola. Wonderful!

Obvious confirmation. Tropea remains one of the most enchanting views of the Calabrian Tyrrhenian coast, a unique place on the so-called Costa degli Dei which, unfortunately, remains poorly served by road infrastructures (like most of Calabria).
Arriving early in the morning it was possible to find space on the beach (right under the church) and street parking right in front, shame about those €3 per hour 24 hours a day which, at least in some time slots, could be halved. It's true that facing the sea there may be a higher cost, but the possibility of parking in summer is really limited (the ZTL doesn't help you get around), and after all the time it takes to reach it (due to the bad roads) more attention to welcoming tourists would not be unwelcome. On the other hand, with the costs that have to be incurred even for just a day as a couple, this coveted "exclusivity" should not remain out of context...
...better, at this point the Ionian beaches are better served by fast roads which also offer the possibility of visiting equally beautiful adjacent places.
The sea (became) crystal clear (or almost) after 10.30 (and we are at the beginning of June)... A few too many discharges which did not make it deserve the maximum rating!

Tropea now very famous does not need much introduction. Its sea, its beaches, the islet, the old town full of shops and clubs, the historic buildings, the cathedral, its landscapes, its sunsets and extraordinary views, make it unique and characteristic. A real pearl of beauty.

Tropea is truly unique and did not disappoint our expectations. Beautiful and clean sea like in Sardinia; the water remains transparent even in the afternoon. Breathtaking views (see panorama from the overlook and other viewpoints). The rock cave is cute. A beautiful, characteristic, lively and colorful country (the Tropea spring onion reigns supreme with its vivid colours). The sanctuary of Santa Maria dell'Isola is absolutely worth visiting.

Beautiful beach to the east of the fortress but better that to the west. Crystal clear water, little fish, evil, that nibble the dead skin of the feet, someone likes it. behind the beaches, via stairs of many steps, you reach the panoramic terrace of the old town where, it is spectacular to see the sun setting behind the island of Stromboli.

C'è un parcheggio gratuito o lidi che permettono di parcheggiare a pagamento senza noleggio dell'ombrellone?
Written 11 July 2020
A giugno molti parcheggi anche se solitamente sono a pagamento non lo erano, non so se a causa del Covid o se perché a inizio stagione. Comunque ce ne sono molti sia liberi che a pagamento e spesso anche molto vicini alle spiagge.
