Scilla 8

This shot is of the Chianalea dry dock repair area is also home to a summer pop up restaurant that specializes in swordfish sandwiches in unique configurations, it also captures what this region is known for, the color violet in the sunrise. The Costa Viola is famous for the cast of violet light at particular times of the day mostly when the sun is low, the “Purple Coast” runs from just north of Reggio Calabria and besides Scilla it comprises the municipalities of Bagnara Calabra, Palmi, and Seminara. Along this 35km stretch of coast Scilla is the star, the jewel in the Violet tourist crown all the while it still maintains its authenticity as a fishing village, an easy place to fall in love with and a hard love to forget.
