Pizzo Calabro — Chiesetta di Piedigrotta
Calabria
Pizzo Calabro perches on volcanic cliffs above a small harbour, its Chiesetta di Piedigrotta carved entirely from the soft tufa rock of a sea cave by sailors giving thanks for a shipwreck survival. The clifftop paths above give views along the Gulf of Sant'Eufemia, with the town's famous tartufo gelato a fitting reward.
