About Parghelia
Parghelia sits on the Costa degli Dei just above Tropea, a small Calabrian town of ochre rooftops, prickly pear hedges and a coastline that opens straight onto the Tyrrhenian Sea. Most of what you will do here happens on the water or just above it, whether that means joining the Boat tour from Tropea to Capo Vaticano with swim stops for cliff-backed coves and clear swimming water, or heading inland on the From Tropea: Discover Greek Villages Pentedattilo & Bova - History & Ionian Sea Views for hilltop ghost towns and a very different Calabria.

Frequently asked questions
Summer is the busiest stretch on the Costa degli Dei, and boat departures from Tropea and Parghelia fill up quickly in July and August. Book several days ahead for those months, and earlier still if you want a specific departure time. May, June, September and early October are quieter, with warm sea temperatures and easier last-minute availability.
