A little more about Capo Vaticano

Capo Vaticano is a place in the Mediterranean Sea to be discovered; a true native paradise overlooking the Calabrian coast of Tyrrhenian Sea with crystal clear water, fauna and flora ready to be explored.  A promontory overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea, of the Apennines of Calabria, extends to the sea and separates the Gulf of Santa Eufemia by Gioia Tauro. Small sandy bays, often only reachable from the sea or through paths, fine white sands with living and intense colors of the sea, which change from green turquoise to deep blue. It is not surprising that this is considered one of the most beautiful beaches in Italy.

A legend

A legend says that in ancient times, a oracle lived in the Promontorio and before leaving to the sea, sailors would pay him a visit, in the cave where he lived,  located under a rock called, Mantineo which means “to communicate divine will”.

Before the tourism boom, Capo Vaticano was a small fishing village. What Are The Ten Places You Must See In Calabria?
