The Striking Cliffside Town Of Tropea, Italy

Southern Italy is known for its gorgeous coastlines and the quaint cliffside towns that inhabit them. One such town is Tropea, located on the Costa degli Dei (Coast of the Gods) in the region of Calabria.
The Coast of the Gods received its name from the Ancient Greeks and is full of Greek mythology. Tropea itself also has Greek origins in its name and history. The Ancient Greeks called the city Tropheum, which means 'trophy' in Greek, because they believed it to be founded by Hercules as a trophy for completing one of his twelve labors.
