ISOLA DI CAPO DI RIZZUTO is one of the most famous tourist resorts in the entire region of Calabria. It is located on the Ionian coast in the Province of Crotone, and though its name indicates that it is an island, it actually sits four kilometers from the sea on a hill overlooking the water.

These properties comprise of: entrance door leading to a living/dining area, a kitchen, two bedrooms and one complete bathroom. They will be built using top quality materials.
Isola di Capo di Rizzuto was founded in about 1200 B.C. by the lapigi who came from North Africa. The town thrived in Byzantine times. During the middle ages, the nobility fought over the area, as evidenced by the Ricca castle, defensive walls and coastal watchtowers, including Torre Vecchia and Torre Nuova, all built during that time period. Today it is an important farming center and since 1970 has been appreciated by tourists for its natural beauty.
You can take a day trip to Crotone to see its 15th century castle. But, the main attractions in Isola di Capo di Rizzuto are the resorts and beaches. Relax, get a tan and savour local specialities like spaghetti con la neonata, spaghetti with fish sauce. Also, stop at the marine reserve to check out the ecology of the area.
Isola di Capo di Rizzuto can be reached from two airports, Rome or Milan, with connecting flights to Crotone which is a short drive from the resort. |
