Capo Vaticano is about 10 km far from Tropea,
but it defently deserves a visit.
Don't miss the chance to go to the "Belvedere" a
short walkway just under the lighthouse with a
breathtaking view on the sea.
It's also veeeeery romantic to go there on
a fullmoonnight
The moonrays reflect on the sea offering the
visitors aunforgettable night.
Capo Vaticano:
 The
coastline of Capo Vaticano stretches from the
Bay of Riaci to that of S. Maria. Nearby lies
the mythical beach of Torre Ruffa steeped in
legend and history. Underneath the extreme tip
of the promontory run little beaches, the
biggest of which is Praia del Fuoco divided by
huge crags which rise out of the waters and
reach up to the sky almost to the height of the
Cape.
Some of
these beaches can only be reached by the sea
which in these stretches is crystal-clear. The
sand is white and very fine, the sea limpid and
transparent and all
around the colours dance radiantly as if
animated by the sun and the breeze through the
dwarf palm trees and cacti, myrtle, broom,
geraniums and wild poppies.
All
the beaches and all the seashores have always
used the tip of the Promontory of Capo Vaticano
as a reference point, not only geographically
but also because of what it represents: an
inaccessible, sacred place.
It has been inaccessible
throughout the long centuries – harsh, rugged,
wild, arid, inhabited only by the jackdaws which
populate the rocks and by foxes; it is also
sacred, as are all things which possess a
dreadful and inaccessible aspect.
