Ricadi

Description

Ricadi is located in the province of Vibo Valentia, situated on a high rocky outcrop that perches from the Calabrian Apennines towards the Tyrrhenian Sea, opposite the Aeolian islands, geographically known as Capo Vaticano, a promontory which divides the Gulf of St. Eufemia from the Gulf of Gioia Tauro. A popular beach resort, it features a rugged coastline, beautiful beaches and picturesque coves (some of them reachable only by sea), Ricadi also boasts a very ancient past: in fact, traces have been found the prehistoric and pre-Christian periods, most of which are preserved at the National Museum of Reggio Calabria. Tied to the historical events of the nearby city of Tropea, it gained its administrative independence only in 1799. Ricadi was originally just a small fishing village, which thanks to its clear waters and the beauty of the coasts, has become, in a short period of time, an important touristic resort.
