Popular for its healthy red onions, the small town on the coast of Calabria is nicknamed the "pearl of the Tyrrhenian Sea."
A UNESCO-listed World Heritage Site, it's located along the mythological "Coast of the Gods," famous for its stunning white granite cliffs, secluded inlets, shimmering blue waters and idyllic beaches.
Filled with vibrant alleys and palazzos, the picturesque church of Santa Maria dell`Isola, which rises on a protruding, turtle-shaped sea crag that looms over a popular beach, is the town's official symbol.
