The ancient Greek colony of Rhegion, the tip of the Italic boot, with its promenade, defined as the most beautiful kilometre in Italy, and its National Museum, home to the Riace Bronzes. This is Reggio Calabria, in the extreme south of Italy, looking towards Sicily. A place of myth and mysterious suggestions. A stone’s throw from Reggio Calabria is Scilla, known as the “little Venice of the Tyrrhenian Sea”, perched on the slopes of a rocky promontory. The characteristic little harbour, home to the few spatare, special sword-fishing boats, is dominated by the imposing castle owned by Ruffo di Calabria family. Scilla is still famous for the ancient fishing quarter of Chianalea with its picturesque narrow streets and canals, as well as the fishermen’s dwellings sloping down towards the sea. At the end, as you climb Mount S. Elias, you will come to a astonishing view of the Tyrrhenian Sea, where sky and sea are as one.
