Nunzia's House

Nestled between the Tyrrhenian Sea and the Pollino National Park, Scalea boasts some of the most beautiful beaches in Italy. You can soak up the sun on the golden sands of the Spiaggia delle Sirene, take a dip in the crystal-clear waters at the Baia del Carpino, or explore the rocky coves and grottoes along the coast.

But Scalea is much more than just a beach destination. The town has a rich history that dates back to the ancient Greeks, and you can still see traces of their influence in the ruins of the Roman Forum and the Temple of Hera. The medieval old town, with its narrow alleys, arches, and balconies, is a maze of hidden treasures waiting to be discovered.

If you're a foodie, you'll love the local cuisine, which is based on fresh seafood, vegetables, and pasta. Don't miss the chance to taste the famous 'nduja, a spicy spreadable salami that is a staple of Calabrian cuisine.
