At Capo Vaticano, the turquoise blue sea pushes itself between the ragged granite rocks to form a large number of small bays.

The Italian environmental organization Lega Ambiente has certified that, at the snow-white beaches, the water is of best quality.

Ricadi is an Italian municipality in the province of Vibo Valentia. Especially its districts at the coast, like Santa Maria di Ricadi, Santa Domenico di Ricadi or San Nicolò di Ricadi, are very popular for their beautiful beaches.

Also the famous Capo Vaticano belongs to the municipality of Ricadi.

Due to the steep cliffs, Capo Vaticano itself has remained unspoilt and some of the most beautiful bays, e.g. Praia di Fuoco, can only be reached on foot or by boat.

At the cape, with a view of the Stretto di Messina, Sicily and the Lipari Islands with volcanic Mt. Stromboli, there used to be, in ancient times and in place of today’s lighthouse, an oracle much frequented by sailors; thus, the name Capo dei Vaticinii, cape of prophecies.  

The gentle slopes of Monte Poro can also be explored by bike along roads with only little traffic. Dive into a rural world where time still passes more slowly.
