4 Days in Tropea, Calabria - May 2022

[@annmariethomas5806]

This is so awesome. I love that you show the maps, the food, local events, and the side streets!! Wonderful job of exploring and sharing. You guys have the best Italy videos here on YT👌🙏!!

[@abuzzaboveitaly]

Thank you, so glad that you like the videos! I always need a map to feel oriented wherever we go so I try to put them on all the videos to help others like me :)

[@johnc9879]

We are planning to visit Calabria next year. Your video is wonderful and filled with excellent information (thanks for the links too). Despite losing the video on your iPad, you did a great job. Thanks!

[@abuzzaboveitaly]

Glad it helped! If you want, I've got some other videos on the channel that cover some of the day trips we did while we were staying in Tropea. Would definitely recommend Pentedattilo, Pizzo, Scilla and a couple others (they're on the videos). Have a great time!

[@nonane2390]

that was great and loved the music.

[@abuzzaboveitaly]

So glad you liked it, we can’t wait to go back. We like the music a lot too - check out the Notte Della Taranta for more

[@abuzzaboveitaly]

We loved it too and will definitely go back!

Good parking is situated near the Porto di Tropea (marine port a bit left on aerial view)

[@abuzzaboveitaly]

Good point - forgot about that one!

[@donfluso9042]

thats exactly where I parked my car 🙂 hope you had some catfood with you!

[@MediaGraphica]

​@@donfluso9042 Sadly I was with no cat food but the cats get a very fresh fish every morning directly from fishing boats. So looks like they have not a big expectations from tourists :)

[@donfluso9042]

@@MediaGraphica they all looked well fed in Tropea 👍 I actually stayed in Pizzo and the situation over there was difficult for cats to survive 😓 there was an old lady who was looking after the stray cats and I bought her a lot of catfood before I left

This is awesome thank you. We are planning a trip in mid may as well. Btw, was the water too cold for a swim? Were the lido closed? Thanks and regards

[@abuzzaboveitaly]

Hi - we’re glad you liked the video! The water was cold but people were still swimming (I only dipped my feet in.) I think the lido were officially closed (nobody was around and the offices were locked up) but there were still people at the beaches. The nice thing was that there was hardly anyone on the beaches. We have watched videos in Tropea from the summer and the beaches are packed. Much fewer people in May.

[@shudhabhattacharyya3966]

Thank you so much for the reply

What was the cost of the apartment? looks amazing

[@abuzzaboveitaly]

I think it was about $140/night, but it probably depends on what time you book for. I would check on the website to double check for a specific time. www.ilconvento.com Have fun!

[@camcorp]

@@abuzzaboveitaly Thank you! well worth it

[@ellie-maejohnson6154]

I’m going the first week of May this year, how high did the temperatures get in the day on average?

[@abuzzaboveitaly]

That’s when we were there too! It would be fun if you can catch anything of the festivals there. We got really lucky with our weather. For the most part it was sunny and clear-ish during the day. It got cooler at night (light jacket at most). So I think you can get away with enough for cool nights or a windy cloudy day if you get unlucky - sweatshirt and/or light jacket. Have fun!

[@ellie-maejohnson6154]

@@abuzzaboveitaly thank you so much!

[@swedescalco4625]

Did you need a jacket in May ?

[@abuzzaboveitaly]

Not during the day but you could put on a light one at night to be comfortable. I didn’t but my wife did.

[@swedescalco4625]

@@abuzzaboveitaly we made reservations for Il Convento a few months ago for this June. Thank you

[@abuzzaboveitaly]

Excellent! The location is great and the rooms are very nice. Have fun! (I actually just saw a video on KZbin where one of the other apartments was for sale - can't remember how much it was though)
