Tourists who prefer group sightseeing tours in Tropea rather than exploring the attractions on their own can start with an introductory boat trip along the coast of Tropea and Pizzo. The tour includes stops and visits to Santa Maria dell'Isola and the Norman Cathedral in Tropea, as well as the Aragonese Fortress and the Church of Piedigrotta in Pizzo. If you are interested in the cost of such a tour in Tropea, it would be around 30 EUR, excluding entrance tickets.
Bus tours in Tropea are unlikely to be of interest to tourists, as you can embark on a journey by motorboat or yacht instead. For example, starting from the port of Tropea and cruising along the Coast of the Gods, you can make stops at various bays and have the opportunity to snorkel. The cost of such a boat trip would be 30 EUR.
Russian-guided tours in Tropea will appeal to fishing enthusiasts. The program of the "On Board Ethica" boat trip offers a journey along the Coast of the Gods to the La Bracce area, where the beach of Santa Irene is located. During a 45-minute stop, you can swim, snorkel, or go fishing. The cost of this experience is 55 EUR.
Be sure to visit the Aeolian Islands — this excursion is recommended by all guides in Tropea and costs around 45 EUR. This group includes seven islands: Lipari, Salina, Vulcano, Stromboli, Alicudi, Filicudi, and Basiluzzo. The Aeolian Islands, also known as the Lipari Islands, will amaze tourists as they are all somehow connected to volcanoes. Vulcano has a volcanic origin, Salina is known for its two dormant volcanoes, and Stromboli has an active volcano with two peaks. One of these peaks, named Vancori, reaches a height of 750 meters above sea level and has three craters! If you are interested in the active volcano in particular, then you can take the "Stromboli at Night" excursion. Departure from the port is at 17:00, and until 21:00, you will have a guided tour of the picturesque village. The highlight of the trip is observing the eruption explosions, lava flows, and the fiery spectacle of the Stromboli volcano. Witnessing the true power of nature in its pristine form will cost you 45 EUR.
