seen in SCILLA / Calabria

Scilla is an enchanting coastal village on the west coast of Calabria – a charming fishing destination which is the jewel of the Costa Viola. It is reminiscent of famous spots on Italy’s Cinque Terre, with a patchwork of coloured houses overlooking the sweeping calm waters of the Tyrrhenian, yet is a town virtually undiscovered by tourists. Its position on the Strait of Messina, the stretch of water which connects Calabria to Sicily, offers a rich history with over 2,000 year-old traditions in fishing for sword fish.
A town straight out of myths, the ancient Greek legends say that it was home to the sea monster Scylla, one of the two monsters (alongside Charybdis) who guarded the Strait of Messina and terrorised Odysseus as he sailed the seas. Today, it’s an enchanting town to visit, with charming streets to wander, a castle to explore, a sweeping beach and extraordinary sunsets.
