Overview

The village of Scilla is located in the southern region of Calabria and is a stunning town to visit during your stay in the region of Calabria with stunning views over the straight of Messina towards Sicily.  According to Homer's Odyssey, ancient Scilla (Scylla) was where one of the two monsters resided, dreaded by passing sailors.   Today, nothing in Scilla looks remotely threatening, espcecially in summer, when the broad sandy beach is the focus for sunning and swimming day by day, and carousing by night. At the northern end of the bay, a castle resides loftily on a rocky spur - a grand vantage point for watching the tall masted feluche swordfish boats patrolling the Straits and gazing at the marina below or the island of sicily directly across the bay.   Throughout the town there are  numerous restaurants and cafès along Scilla's lungo mare and lidos make the town a perfect spot for lunch on your way to or from Sicily.
