The medieval city of Tropea is another incredibly historic and picturesque seaside location. It is perched, hanging on the sheer cliffs overlooking the Stromboli Volcano and the Tyrrhenian Sea, on the southwestern coast of Italy. The Tropea promontory is surrounded by cliffs and sandy beaches and, while it is very busy during the high season, the town has not been compromised or ruined by tourism.
