Tropea is a small town (6.914 ab) situated in the South of Italy, is one of the most famous beach holiday place in the world.
The SUNDAY TIMES, in 2006, awarded it as the n°1 "Beach Holiday in The World" writing: Like a fractured metatarsal on the foot of Italy, the Tropea promontory juts out into the turquoise Tyrrhenian Sea, its superb white-sand beaches shielded by high cliffs. The town of Tropea pulls off a rare trick by managing to be both fashionable and unspoilt, a maze of steep narrow streets, Renaissance churches and yellow-stone palazzi. Another thing that makes Tropea famous all over the World is the Tropea's Red Onion, famous for is sweetness and is curative characteristics. (thanks to Sunday Times)
