Scilla & Chianalea, Calabria

Discover Scilla & Chianalea — Private Tours, Experiences & Custom Travel

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.

“In August 2018, my family of four and myself travelled from Vancouver, BC to Rome Italy and spent 3 weeks touring Italy with IVS.

You can tell while being in Italy that”

“In September of 2018 I brought a group of 12 from Venice to Sicily and organized all of my services with the Italy Vacation Specialists.

I would like to start of by saying "THANK YO”

“As a travel agent, but also a traveler to Italy, thee is no other company I would recommend than the Italy Vacation Specialists.
