(Post #7 – April) Heading up the east coast of Italy

We got off the ferry (after a rocky interchange with the ticket office!) and we started out up the coast of Calabria. Our plan was to drive up along the Amalfi coast, stopping at Positsno, Pompeii and Napoli! We had some wonderful experiences.

Tropea – a lovely gem on the Tyrrhenian Sea

Back when we were planning the trip in our RV in Troutdale, I read about Tropea and it sounded like a good stopping point on our way north. It was! Wish we’d booked more than one night. That being said, we managed to find a lovely beach, drink a Campari spritz and Chris ate a great aged steak! In the morning, the beach was empty and beautiful and the water chilly!

Tropes is a seaside resort on the Gulf of Euphemia and was voted “Most beautiful village in Italy in 2021”

Besides lovely beaches and great Campari spritzes – they are famous for their red onions – Cipolle do Tropea!
