Calabria’s Costa degli Dei is discussed in an article in Il Sole 24 Ore’s travel section.  The coast boasts transparent turquoise waters and many of the coves, beaches and grottoes lining it are reachable only by boat. For a respite from sun and swimming, one can visit the stunning town of Tropea with its palaces, alleyways, shops garlanded with dried peppers and Norman cathedral perched on an outcrop.  The town is known for its cuisine, the highlights of which are sweet Tropea onions and spicy ‘nduja sausage.
