This stretch of coast, which goes from Pizzo to Nicotera, delimits the so-called Calabria horn. The Costa degli Dei, located in the southern part of the Tyrrhenian Sea in the province of Vibo Valentia, is called Costa Bella precisely because of its beautiful coastline, its picturesque landscapes and its marvelous panorama of the Aeolian Islands, which are around thirty kilometres.
