Scilla

A little more than ten minutes from the Bagnara, continuing south, the “journey of Ulysses” still reserves a new and overwhelming encounter: Scilla. The undisputed pearl of the Tyrrhenian coast, the town has always renewed its charm, remaining forever in the heart of every visitor. Indicated as one of the most beautiful and characteristic villages of Italy, Scilla combines the timeless charm of the seaside village of Chianalea, the “little Venice”, with the characteristic little houses almost immersed in the sea, the most frequented part the Marina Grande that extends for almost a kilometres of beach under the severe but reassuring gaze of the imposing Castello dei Ruffo. The space offered by the San Rocco square, in the upper part of the town, from which it is possible to enjoy a breath-taking view of the Strait, has a great impact on the landscape. Simple but rich in taste is also the cuisine of the place that ranges from the typical features of the sea such as swordfish and silver scabbard fish, to the delicacies linked to the tradition of the nearby mountains such as sautéed beans with red onion and ‘nduja or baked broccoli.
