Grotticelle Beach

Highlight • Beach

The Spiaggia di Grotticelle is perhaps the most beautiful and popular beach on Cape Vaticano. It impresses with fine white sand and crystal clear water.
In the high season there is also a pleasant gastronomic offer as well as rental of umbrellas, loungers and pedal boats.

Lower Section of the Steep Descent to the Coast

Highlight • Trail

Today we made it here from Grotticelle because (a) the new Sandokan scene at Grotticelle had been filmed in the meantime 😉 and (b) we timed the tide. At our age, you should only cross unknown waters if you can see the bottom and the current is low. Balancing and climbing over the granite blocks still makes the tour "moderately difficult" instead of "easy" as stated!

Krasser Abstieg

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

The classification of our tour with this section as "easy" is a blatant misjudgment. We had previously mastered every "moderately difficult" tour with ease. But here we turned back at a point where younger people had probably taken a "serpentine shortcut" that created a very slippery section on the side, which we found too risky to pass (despite good footwear)... What a pity 😣

Cactus Pathway With Coastal View

Highlight • Trail

The path is passable. Sturdy shoes are recommended. However, you can also go to the beach next door and then take the path directly along the beach or above it to get to the bay. When there are waves, swimming in the sea in the bays is hardly possible because there are large stones in the sea everywhere. The advantage: no human sardines in oil, like on the umbrella+lounger beach.

View from the Faro Vaticano

Highlight • Viewpoint

Capo Vaticano is a cape located on a rocky outcrop in Calabria in the municipality of Ricadi.

From the cape there is a wide view of the Strait of Messina (Stretto di Messina) and all the Aeolian Islands (Stromboli, Vulcano, Lipari, Salina, Filicudi, Alicudi and Panarea). When visibility is good, you can see the high power pillars through which Sicily was once supplied with electricity above ground from Calabria.

The place has nothing to do with the Vatican. The name refers to an oracle that was visited by sailors during the time of Greek settlement.

Capo Vaticano Lighthouse

Highlight • Monument

The lighthouse itself is not particularly spectacular - and is cordoned off - but the view from the rocks and the nearby Terrazza Panoramica of the Strait of Messina and the Aeolian Islands is simply breathtaking.
