Le Castella

Drop anchor off Le Castella and you're treated to one of the most dramatic views on the Calabrian coast — a medieval Aragonese castle that appears to rise straight out of the sea, connected to the shore by just a sliver of land. It genuinely looks like something out of a fantasy novel. The village itself is tiny and unspoiled, sitting within the protected marine area of Capo Rizzuto, so the water here is strikingly clear and the seabed pristine.
