Roccella Jonica Marina

Tucked along the Costa dei Gelsomini (Coast of Jasmine), this marina sits beneath the ruins of a dramatic clifftop Aragonese castle that looms over the harbour — one of the more striking backdrops you'll find on the Ionian coast. The water here is famously clean and crystal-clear, regularly recognised among Calabria's best. The small town of Roccella Ionica is an easy walk away, with a lively summer festival scene and a sandy beach stretching along the bay.
