Scilla 9

Scylla just the name evokes enchantment amongst local storytellers, long held myths told and retold about a nymph turned into one half of a tag team that guard the “Straits of Messina” the other guardian being Charybdis the whirlpool master. With a name like Scilla you have a lot to overcome, your six headed monstrous side with big belly full of many sailors needs some compensation and I feel that she has done this with one of the most beautiful coastal villages I have ever visited Chianalea. I think this little village may be a siren child of the Scylla given the way the lapping of the sea against the houses seems to pull you forward with its song but try to resist its pull and pause along the way to explore every nook.
