Panoramic View of Nicotera and the Gulf of Gioia Tauro

Highlight • Viewpoint

Situated at 210 meters above sea level on a ridge overlooking the sea, and the plain and gulf of Gioia Tauro. The historic center of Nicotera develops through winding streets, underpasses and steep stairs with breathtaking panoramic views. The ancient neighborhoods of "Baglio" and "Giudecca" are particular.
The water mills that develop along the stream create a connection line at the base of the hill, which can be admired from Marina di Nicotera or from the train station (Nicotera Scalo).

Capo Vaticano

Highlight • Viewpoint

Capo Vaticano is a cape located on a rocky outcrop in Calabria in the municipality of Ricadi. From the cape there is a wide view of the Strait of Messina (Stretto di Messina) and all of the Aeolian Islands (Stromboli, Vulcano, Lipari, Salina, Filicudi, Alicudi and Panarea). When visibility is good, you can see the high power pillars that once supplied Sicily with electricity from Calabria above ground. The place has nothing to do with the Vatican. The name refers to an oracle that was visited by sailors during the time of Greek settlement.

The cycling tour of this promontory continues, with fabulous views. What is certain is that the road from the crossroads for Spilinga, home of 'Nduja, to Tropea (14 km) cries out for vengeance for the way it is. Even today a strange encounter, at 342 meters above sea level, just before the aforementioned crossroads, I meet him, a crab. How …
