Nicotera — Rocca e Spiaggia
Calabria
Nicotera's hilltop old town, once an episcopal seat, is crowned by castle remains giving a view down over its own long sandy beach and the Gulf of Gioia Tauro. The combination of hilltop history and coastal beach access, distinct from the grotto at nearby San Calogero, makes for two contrasting short walks.
