From the golden beaches and the crystal clear sea, you go up through the picturesque streets that climb into the town; Scalea is one of the oldest cities in Calabria... #tuttitaly
Heir of the Greek-Lucan city Laos and the Roman Lavinium, located between the hill and the valley of the river Lao, Scalea is a charming village with typically medieval architecture.
Being one of the oldest cities in Calabria, it is characterized by its narrow and winding alleys, stone steps, and historic buildings.
Scalea seems crossed by a single large staircase that rises from the golden beaches and the crystal clear sea throughout the town, passing through the low arcades.
Starting from the 1960s, the houses that made up the nucleus of the old village were gradually abandoned, and the inhabitants began to build new buildings occupying the area close to the coast.
Since the 1980s, the crystal clear sea, beautiful beaches, rich recreational activities, and beach and water sports offer have made Scalea a tourist attraction.
Every summer, the city is populated by tourists from all over the world.
