Tropea is perfect for a little Meditteranean sunbathing and sightseeing, if you don’t mind feeling like one of many, many tourists that crowd here during the high season (July-September). Tropea’s touristiness can be part of the fun, as people watching opportunities (especially of bronzed southern Italians and for some reason huge quantities of decidedly-less-bronzed Germans) abound. During the day, the beaches below Tropea’s white cliffs beckon; at night, Tropea’s tiny downtown is a maze of restaurants, bars, and piazze packed with trinkets for tourists (i.e. you) to buy.
